[Heb-NACO] source of romanization: Gera?

[Shinohara, Jasmin]

Who decides that it’s accepted as a pronounced word? I would think that presence in E-Sh. is an indication of such acceptance, but it’s not there. Or is absence not an indicator of non-acceptance?

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)

Hi, I’m working on a title that has גר"א in the title and finding the romanization Gera. I’m wondering what the source is for this (mis?)romanization; it does not appear in E-Sh. or Alkalai (or in the Romanization FAQ). I tried searching the Heb-NACO archives, to no avail. Anybody have ideas? Why is it not just Gra?

Thanks, Jasmin
