RE: Is di-tel-li simply a transliteration, or is there an underlying meaning?
Transliteration.
Each of the three Chinese characters are pronounced respectively : DI, TEH and LI
底 read as DI , means ground, bottom or foundation
特 read as Teh, means Special or exceptional
律 read as Li, means Law

I can’t type hanzi on my phone; I knew that the second one meant “special” and the third one meant “rule”; the first must be simplified, I have a scroll with “foundation” kanji and it is much more complex.
