I took the examples from Alcalay to demonstrate the inconsistencies it presents and the confusion that goes with them. And - my name should indeed be Romainzed Semadar but I write Smadar since no one pronounces it with a sheva na.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">I agree with Barry. When we look at the word pesikhologyah we have over ten sub-fields that should be Rominized as: psikhologyah genetit, psikhologyah hevdelit. However, there is also pesikhologyah shimushit
without any visible reason for the difference. Likewise, there is pesikhopati but ishiyut psikhopatit. This inconsistency confuses matters.<br>

So right now we have:<br>
kriminologyah<br>
statistiskah<br>
but deramah.<br>
<br>
psikhologyah<br>
psikhi, etc.<br>
but pesefas.<br>
<br>
Note that in the Rav-milim online edition, all of these have a sheva under the first letter.
<br>
<br>
The logical and consistent rule would be to treat all these words as loan words and not put in the sheva na.<br>
<br>
Why should Alcalay trump logic, consistency, and current usage? How would a reader know about this obscure, case by case rule?
<br>
<br>
I can assure you that no native speaker of Hebrew says deramah or pesefas. <br>
<br>
I guess this all goes to show how imperfect and difficult the system we're using is. Hurray for the vernacular.

Romanizing a Greek letter. We are, rather, Romanizing a Hebrew word. My Alcalay edition treats
<i>pesefas</i> and <i>deramah</i> as Hebrew vocabulary words, vocalizing the first consonant with a
<i>sheva, </i>which it does not do for <i>psikholog</i>. This is not a question of etymology, but of usage. I think that Israeli speakers pronounce the
<i>sheva</i> of <i>pesafas </i>if only because that helps them accent the final syllable (unfortunately they ignore a lot of other mobile shevas, ones thatwe do -- and do not -- regard in our Romanizing).</span><o:p></o:p></p>
