<br>
Your question reminded me of another instance when the transcription doesn’t make sense – see authority record 8232817 for Daniyel Tevito or ARN 5925102 for Mosheh P. Tu’itu (better than Tevito) . Daniel Touitou is known in France and no one would consider
his name to be Tevito or Tvito where Touitou is a very common Sephardic name. Because of our Hebrew cataloging rules he was established as Tevito (!!!) and Mosheh Touitou was established as Tuitu.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am having problems transcribing a 245. It’s about R. Aharon Choueka (1897-1978). In Hebrew it is written
</span><span lang="HE" dir="RTL" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">שויקה</span><span dir="LTR"></span><span lang="EN-US"><span dir="LTR"></span>. The common pronunciation of the name has always been Shoo-eh-kah, and therefore the vav and the yud are
matres lectionis, not semi-consonants in any way. Yet I am finding bibs with transcriptions like Shuyekah, which probably are correct according to the rule, but make no sense scientifically speaking, not to mention the fact that they are of no use to most
patrons.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
