this would be an adjective in the 245 $a.

Questions: are we talking about the surname "Sheyn" now, or a Yiddish

245$b or $c?
If the string occurs in a 245$a, a 246 with an alternative spelling can
certainly be made.
If the string occurs in a 245$b or $c, LC would NOT put an alternative
spelling into a 246 (we seldom put $b in 246, and never put $c)--and it
wouldn't be indexed (i.e., searchable) even if it were recorded there, as
far as I know.

Can Mr. Talbott put "shin" in the 245, and then add a
246 with "sheyn"?
