<p class="MsoNormal">Hi, I’m working on a title that has
<span lang="HE" dir="RTL" style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">גר"א</span><span lang="HE" dir="RTL">
</span>in the title and finding the romanization Gera. I’m wondering what the source is for this (mis?)romanization; it does not appear in E-Sh. or Alkalai (or in the Romanization FAQ). I tried searching the Heb-NACO archives, to no avail. Anybody have ideas?
Why is it not just Gra?<u></u><u></u></p>
