Yes, this was resolved back in February, with the critical text from HCM p. 21 (“In the rare cases where Even-Shoshan may show the same word under more than one entry element, the more 'analytical' option is chosen.”) re-added to HCMRDA, and we agreed that standard romanization of בגלל is bi-gelal (and בשביל is bi-shevil in all cases).

Doesn't HCM say, more or less, "If Even-Shoshan gives both, use THE MORE ANALYTICAL FORM"--that is, the form with the hyphen?  This is done, in the same way as we write "Yerushalayim," so the 2nd part of the word will be searchable.  Not that I expect people who want to search "biglal" will search "gelal" and expect to find it, but people wanting "Yerushalayim" will find "bi-Yerushalayim" also.  And so that all catalogers will romanize these things the same way, after having once looked them up in the dictionary.

If so how would you transliterate במלאות 25 שנה  ? Would this be correct bi-melo'ut ?

It is “dangerous” going to Biglal or Bishvil – tomorrow we will say: If it is Bishvil so why not change it to Shvil
We also Romanize בירושלים  to “Bi-Yerushalayim” and not to “Birushalayim”

Hi, Haim, bi-gelal would be correct if the ב is considered a prefix to the word גלל. But since there is a direct entry for the word as a whole, I’m asking if we should romanize it as a whole word instead of as a compound word.

Thanks, Jasmin

I think it should be “biglal” and not “bi-gelal” because of the sheva being treat as a sheva nach (which is how it is in the Alcalay).  This is in my humble opinion.

Hello Collective Wisdom, please remind me: if there’s an entry in E-Sh., even if it ends with a “see also”, is that sufficient justification for romanizing the word as a word as opposed to a compound? E.g. בגלל has a direct entry, so I’d think it would be romanized biglal (NOT bigelal because as a whole word, the sheva would be considered merahef, ignored in romanization), but the entry also says “see גלל”. So which is it: Biglal or Bi-gelal?

Thanks, Jasmin
