<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:JA">I have in front of me a case of a 245 and a 505 that end with rashe tevot (z. ts. ṿe-ḳ.l.l.h.h. in the 245 and li-f.ḳ. in the 505). Please confirm that I’m supposed to end the field with a second
mark of punctuation (full stop) following that of the abbreviation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:JA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:JA">I looked at the RDA ISBD punctuation sections for guidance (Appendix D and 1.7 and its accompanying LCC-PCC PS) but didn’t find examples for 24x or 5xx fields. I recall the example during training
where the 250 ed. statement ends with an abbreviation, a second full stop would be added as part of ISBD punctuation, e.g., if the statement is given as “3<sup>rd</sup> ed.”, the 250 would present as “3<sup>rd</sup> ed..” (See Adam Schiff’s ‘<a href="http://www.rda-jsc.org/archivedsite/docs/BCLAPresentationWithNotes.pdf">Changes
from AACR2 to RDA</a>’ and <a href="http://rascat.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/92512215/HCM%20RDA%20guide.pdf?force_download=1">
HCM2</a> p.43: “</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"">Ts</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt">ṿ</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"">ey</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt">ţ</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial Unicode MS","sans-serif"">e

as well?</span><span style="mso-fareast-language:JA"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:JA"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:JA">One option is to omit the abbreviations, but that isn’t really in the spirit of RDA’s “take what you see”. Have others encountered similar situations? E.g., a title ending with E.Y.
