[Heb-NACO] Yiddish romanization question

[Miller, Caroline]

All,

I have a Yiddish literary work published in Vilna in 1897.  The first word in the title is אחתן  with patah under א, kamats under both ח and ת.

The copy I see for a later edition romanizes it as “Aḥos̀n” but I don’t know how the nikud appeared on that piece.  Wouldn’t my piece be romanized “Aḥos̀on?” because of the two successively appearing kamatsim?

Wishing you all a happy Sukkot!

Caroline
