[Heb-NACO] Transliterating yud heh vav heh

[Shinohara, Jasmin]

Yes, it was added yesterday. In the process of linking to the updated doc as we type. In the meantime, the word was also added to the Romanization FAQ<http://rascat.pbworks.com/w/page/109347700/Romanization%20FAQ>.

Thanks folks.

Is there any chance we could get a transliteration advisory covering this included in the HCM? 'Twould be quite handy for those few times it actually happens.

I agree with Aaron, and would advocate for YHVH (subscript dot under V) as the least controversial way to deal with this situation.

Assuming there are no nekudot, would it not be presumptuous for a cataloger to claim to know how it would be pronounced.

Hi folks:

I'm cataloging a book right now that has the tetragrammaton in the title.

1) YHVH? This is what the record has
2) Yehovah? My preference
3) Yahveh? As good as any other
4) Or should we use a euphemism,e.g ha-Shem?

I'm not invested in this one and am agnostic as to the outcome, but which form is preferred? The euphemism 'ha-Shem" and "Adonai" are already slotted in the record as added title entries.
