[Heb-NACO] romanization of קוקטייל

[Kuperman, Aaron]

For users what will matter is the original Hebrew, and thus the only question is whether the cataloger (through a 246) or the user (using common sense) knows to look under both spellings (same problem with "catalog" vs "catalogue").  I question losing sleep over romanization since any user familiar with the term will look it up in Hebrew rather than in romanization (and as it is, we accommodate only Anglo-Americans, people from other language will romanize quite differently). --Aaron

I do agree with Mr. Talbot. This is a good solution if we keep in mind the end user and discoverability.

Rules are rules, but I kind of hate it when rules make impossible for people to find things in the catalog! Total “deramah” / דרמה.

Folks:

The way I would habve approached the data
24510 [vernacular double yud form from tp]
24510 Drai matini kotail
2463  [vernacular single yud form from ESh
2463  Drai martini koktel

The reason why this is causing so much trouble is that in our romanization scheme, double yud represents either "ai," the default form, or a XyX where the yud has a degesh (I honestly can't think of any instances where double yud represent a non-dageshed yud hauling a tsere or a segol, but I could be wrong).  So, for my money the best way to treat would be to transcribe what's on the piece according to usual practice (koktail; add a [sic] if you're still using AACR2) and to add the ESh form as an add title.

My opnion is my own, and I defer to Those Who Know.

So in other words, I ought to add a 24633 for קוקטיל?

Fyi

Standard Israeli practice today is to add 24633s for title in alternate ketiv since, for example the reader usually has no idea if the dictionary he is looking for is titled
מלון or מילון

ok, so i just fixed the 245 to koktel (with appropriate diacritics) and deleted the extraneous 246.  thanks for your prompt response!

Oops,
I read the e-mail too oquickly about the tsere. I was thinking that it appeared on the resource.

No, to the best of my knowledge incorrect romanizations should not be as added in 246s. The LC-PCC PS for 2.3.6.3 offers guidelines and best practices for making variant titles for permutations related to the title proper. There is no discussion onrecording variant or incorrect transliterations (unless found somewhere on the resource). Maher discusses alternative romanizations in Hebraica Cataloging but only in regards to providing alternative romanizations as references to Hebraica names.
