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

[Zachary M Baker]

For a YIDDISH-language gazetteer (one that also includes traditional Hebrew spellings for thousands of place names in Europe and North Africa) see Berl Kagan's Sefer haprenumerantn (Hebrew Subscription Lists), published by JTS in the mid-1970s.

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.
