[Heb-NACO] Romanization: ayin lamed zayin vav zayin

Hi Bob, 

Off-hand I cannot think of an Hebrew-language gazetters for places outside of Israel but it might appear in אנציקלופדיה העברית״ which may have vocalized headings. I don't have it readily accessible but I am sure that one of our safranim colleagues will have a copy at hand. 

Also you can check Atlas le-toldot ʻam Yiśraʼel (1965) 

Good luck, Heidi

Folks: 

A pair of queries: 

1) I have a sad little seder selihot here at my desk and it purports to be ke-minhag [ayin lamed zayin vav zayin]. One the one hand, I'm pretty sure that string of letters refers to Alsace. On the other, I can only guess at how it's vocalized. OCLC has "Elzuz" but I suspect this is not the 'droid I was looking for. Please, if you have clue (and you just might!) let me know before I have to guess. 

2) Hebrew language gazetteers for a place other than Israel. Surely they must exist. If anyone has a recommendation, I'd be grateful. 

Cheers 

B
