How to print pecha and is to double sided?

I want to print some pecha formate texts and I am wondering is it traditionally double sided? And how to print it because I want it for buddhist recitation text so how should I organise them in a text editor so that they print properly?

Translation help?

Wondering if anyone would be able to give a rough translation for this? This is for my great uncle who claims it may be Tibetan though I'm very unfamiliar with the language type, Thanks!

Regarding how to read Chinese characters using Tibetan based off of Sino-Tibetan cognates

Disclaimer: I'm posting this on behalf of a friend who doesn't have Reddit

I have this friend who is Japanese and wants to know how to read his name in Tibetan. He was told by a Chinese history professor and a Chinese friend who studied linguistics that it's technically possible to read Chinese names (and by extension Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese names) in Tibetan by matching the Hanzi/Kanji/Hanja/Chu Nom to Tibetan cognates. Last year I asked about this in another sub and didn't get any clear answers so I'd like to know if it's possible.

Attached her are some screenshots from Wiktionary where my friend checked 2 of his name's Kanjis and found Tibetan cognates, which further made him believe it's doable. If anyone knows enough about this topic please DM me.

How to cite Tibetan sources (texts, volumes, etc.) in Chicago Manual of Style?

Does anyone here know how to use the Chicago Manual of Style for citing texts in the Tibetan language? And in like manner, when translating translations of Tibetan texts, do you cite the English name and the original author's name followed by the translator's/publication's name, or do you cite a Tibetan name for the original text, or what do folks do here?
