[Heb-NACO] FW: כיתות ג' עד ו'

[Neil Manel Frau-Cortes]

Right, thanks.

Then my question is: does the absence of a geresh make the number an ordinal? In other words, when a native speaker sees an Aleph without a dot, does she tend to read “rishonah” instead of “ahat”?

The images did not go through….. (I attach them here again for Neil)
Anyway, yes, it does happen.

Does it happen that Hebrew numbers are written without geresh (one character) or gershayim (more than one character)?

Hi Yosi,



 I think that you should add a period after the number "1". If a Hebrew cardinal number is followed by a "'" [geresh] doesn't that make it an ordinal number?



i.e.



א  = 1

א׳ = .1



ׁAccording to RDA Hebraica cataloging:
As a convention, ordinal numerals are generally transcribed with a period.
In the nonroman bibliographic record, the period goes to the left of the numeral if it is transcribed as such

So I think that    מועד א' [geresh after the א]
would be transcribed in the 245 as Moed 1. : sipurim

And t you could even add two variant titles:

246 3 Mo'ed alef
246 3 Mo'ed rishon

Best, Heidi

Uri,
I agree with you - it should be kitot 1 ad 6
Now I have another case that has the same problem: there is a book by Ruth Lorand
o        מועד א' : סיפורים (תל-אביב : ספרית פועלים, תשל"ז 1977)

In this case I would romanize it as "Mo'ed 1" and add a 246 with "Mo'ed alef"

Yossi

o
So, I always thought that this would be “kitot 3 ‘ad 6”, but now I see different practices which would translate to “Gimel ‘ad Ṿaṿ”, or even “G. ‘ad Ṿ”
???
Thanks,
Uri
