It would give several options of which meaning is intended, but you'd need to figure out based on context which of the given options the appropriate rashe tevot are. Another source is Princeton's site of Hebrew cataloging tools, <a href="http://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/hebrew/hebrewtoc.html">http://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/hebrew/hebrewtoc.html</a>, which include Hebrew Abbreviations. They spell out in romanized form what the rashe tevot are, but again, do not include "meaning" or "authorship". That would require more research on your part. Wikipedia can be a good first stop once you know what the spelled out form is (presuming you romanize it properly, c.f.
