Dear Rachel, This is a response from the Arabic cataloger at our Library who knows both Hebrew and Arabic.
Nahid Dayanim Gerstein Librarian, Israel & Judaica Section LS/ABA/ASME/IJ (4222) 101 Independence Ave, SE Washington, DC 20540-4222 n...@loc.gov<mailto:n...@loc.gov> Telephone: (202) 707-0173 [orange lc logo] From: Chyet, Michael <m...@loc.gov> Sent: Wednesday, July 27, 2022 2:29 PM To: Gerstein, Nahid <n...@loc.gov> Cc: Chyet, Michael <m...@loc.gov> Subject: RE: Arab name Dear Nahid- The ח' (ḥet + apostrophe) is intended to show that the name is خلیفة with a خ (and not *حلیفة with a ح). I would Romanize it Ḥ'alifah to reflect the original ח' (ḥet + apostrophe). Hope this helps!

What should be the authorized form of the name of an Arab writing in Hebrew, when the cover also has the name in Arabic? This related to the book by עלי ח'ליפה .
