In ancient times, the Hebrew het was parallel to Germanic Wynn and
ancGreek digamma, the equivalent of today's English W. So, Walt's name
would have been written het-lamed-tet or WLT, with the meaning "to
finally decide".
In less ancient times, the het was parallel to classical Greek X and
Latin X (which only existed after the Romans conquered Greece). So,
Walt's name became XLT. Now, Hebrew XLT is pronounced KHaLaT. Compare
the Spanish and English pronunciations of MeXico.
The ancient Romans watched the flight of birds, especially larks, to
make decisions about auspiscious (bird-watching) occasions. Hence, the
phrase: an eXaLTation of larks.
