What about the Hebrew transliteration ג'אז or ג'ז for Jazz? - Is it G'ez
or G'az?
According to ES it גָ'ּז (Kamats under the Gimmel), but the common
pronunciation in English is G'ez.
And also about pronunciation - which English should we consider as the
"Correct" accent: American, British, Australian?
And what about other non Hebrew languages - transliteration of German,
Hungarian, Polish, etc.
Just to make life more interesting.
