[Heb-NACO] romanization of כמעט

Thu Jun 30 10:39:31 EDT 2016

I’ll be happy to update the list, but will have to find someone in Princeton who can do it: I gave the list to someone who has left long ago, and the systems have changed considerably since. So, don’t hold your breath.

Thank you so much for weighing in, Joan!  Ki-me'at it is.  (LC, please take note…)

With a hat-tip to Rachel Simon, there is such a list of Romanization FAQ’s<http://library.princeton.edu/departments/tsd/katmandu/hebrew/roman/errors.html> (it’s now also linked on the wiki), but it does need to be updated to reflect the latest E-Sh. (specifically, מעין, which as of the 2012 update is now ma'ayan).  Rachel, would you please consider adding ki-me'at to the list?

If you can find the word by looking under both K and M, then you romanize according to the "more analytical" interpretation--ki-me'at in this case--so that a search under "me'at" will discover the phrase.
The same words cause trouble over and over.  Perhaps we should have a list of "words frequently misromanized," which of course would have to be checked and re-checked whenever a new Even-Shoshan edition comes out!
This might give some romanizers added confidence ... but I realize others would never think to consult the list.

If anything, it’s a sheva ha-merahef (לעניות דעתי), but that doesn’t address the question of whether or not the כ is here as a “little word”.

Okay - I have to consult גדולים וחכמים ממני if it is a שווא נע or a שווא נח
I guess if it is a שווא נח then it will be Kim'at and not Ki-me'at

I agree, but most of the entries in LC since 2012 have kim’at.  Hence the question.

So the question is: Should it be Ki-me'at, or Kime'at?

I think it should be Ki-me'at - the entry in E.Sh. under מעט is much more elaborate then half the line under כמעט

(The same is also in the מילון אריאל המקיף of 2007)

E-Sh. now has an entry for the word as itself, though it maintains a “see” reference to מעט.  Do we consider this to be a changed Romanization?  If so, I’ll add it to the chart on the wiki.

Thanks, Jasmin
