[Heb-NACO] source of romanization: Gera?

[Yossi Galron]

Once it was established that the abbreviation of Gaon Rabi Eliyahu (גאון
רבי אליהו) is accepted as a pronounced word, it follows the rules of the
Hebrew grammar, and the Gimmel gets a sheva na (Sheva be-rosh milah hu
Sheva na =שווא בראש מלה הוא שווא נע)
