[Heb-NACO] Obvious error in romanized form of name

Folks:

I encountered a problem this morning.  I have an author whose name
appears both in Hebrew and in Latin script.  The problem is that the
romanized form has an obvious error.  In Hebrew, Yaakov Levi but in
Latin script, Yakov Levu.  I've looked on the web, and I haven't found
any Latin script versions of his name. So what should the heading be?

A workable solution would be to code the record as provisional and
make the Hebrew script form of the name the provisional authorized
access point, but there may be better ways.  Any ideas?

Bob
