[Shinohara, Jasmin]

Yes, samekh and sin (and sof) are always distinguished.

It’s in Weinreich also as khosn. So no differentiation between samekh and sin? On Wed, Sep 27, 2023 at 4: 34 PM Heidi G Lerner via Heb-naco <heb-naco@ lists. osu. edu> wrote: Hi Caroline My thought is that based on our current of HCM, I would

Hi Caroline

My thought is that based on our current of HCM, I would romanize it as "Aḥosn"


"Use Weinreich and Niborski as guides for romanization of vowels and most consonants. However, differentiate between כ/ח and תּ/ט, כּ/ק with the underscore dots and transcribe final ה with an “h.” When Weinreich offers a choice of romanizations, the first is adopted. If a Hebrew two-word expression is written as two words in a Yiddish context, this spacing is imitated in the romanization. Hebrew Script Weinreich Niborski ALA-LC Romanization טוב יום YONTEV/YONTEF יאָנטעװ yon ṭev Kiper Yin יאָנקיפּער/יאָמקיפּער YONKIPER/YINKIPER יום כיפור הסופר עזרא -- -- Ezra ha-Soyfer.

I could not locate "חתן" in Weinrich so I went to Niborski.

Just my thoughts.

best, Heidi

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

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
