[Heb-NACO] a question on the romanization of אגרות

[Shinohara, Jasmin]

Hi Haim,

If I understand correctly, that sheva would be considered מרחף (merahef); as per HCM (p. 17-18), such shevas are not included in Romanization.

Best wishes, Jasmin

Subject: [Heb-NACO] a question on the romanization of אגרות

Dear Colleagues,

I have noticed the word אגרות is Romanized as “igrot.” I was wondering if it shouldn’t be “igerot” since the ג has a dagesh in it due to the unaccentented vowel in the א and therefore the שוע under the ג would be a נע.  The Alcalay that I have on desk does have a שוע.

Thanks,
Haim
