[Heb-NACO] ALA/LC romanization(?) for Aramic as used in Babylonian Talmud, Talmud Yerushalmi, midrashitc texts

[Heidi G Lerner]

Dear safranim,

Is it possible that in our years of developing romanization schemata for several Jewish languages written in Hebrew script we have not codified any guidelines for Aramaic used in talmudic and midrashic/aggadic/cabalistic  texts?

Up until now my practice has been to follow the ALA/LC table for Hebrew. If I don't find a particular Aramaic word in  Even-Shoshan or Alkalay, i turn to Jastrow,  Sefaria, Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon (covers all dialects).

What have the rest of you been doing? Should a preferred  method be codified?

I look forward to learning your practices have been.

Best, Heidi
