Barry, Heidi,
This explains the absent hyphen. I just wanted to add that we make it
"lik.rat" rather than "lik.erat" because of the quiescent schwa as
determined by Alcalay (i.e., printed without the schwa points in his
dictionary). Might be an obvious distinction, but just FYI.

Dear Barry,
Please see the Hebrew Romanizatoin FAQ put together by Rachel and Joan at

The correctd answer is:
li.krat
and not
li-.kerat
Guidelines for these "little words" as per Maher (HCM),. p. 35 state:
the entry element for the lexical term in checked in Even-Shoshan"

Subject: li-kerat vs. likrat
A keyword search in RLIN has yielded 494 hits for li-kerat and 585 for
likrat. Which should it be? I suspect the latter, but would appreciate
confirmation.
