[Heb-NACO] Explicit shevas in consonantal clusters in loans

[Heidi G Lerner]

Hi Bob,

This case is a good example. I believe that we can justify romanizing סילנד as Siland since we do have a found romanization "Sealand" on the title page verso.

As you point out, a 246 from Silaned is justified in order to provide a form that adheres to ala/lc rules of romanization.

What we may be seeing is that many of these kinds of examples will need to be addressed on a case by case  basis.

Best, Heidi

Folks:

 I just ran into a case that's got me thinking about shevas.  In
particular, the title of the work I'm cataloging right now is samekh
yud lamed nun dalet, pointed as Silend.  However, the funny thing
about this is that there's a sheva under the nun.

I know what they're trying to convey: Silend.  But since there's an
explicit sheva under the nun (and an implicit one under the dalet),
wouldn't that make it: Silened?

This pops up from time to time, particularly with the -izm ending
where sometimes publishers will put a sheva under the zayin.

No matter the outcome, a 246 is in order to account for the variant.

Let me know what you think.
