For what it's worth, LC interprets AACR2 in a very literal way. Because it doesn't list a Hebrew abbreviation for "et al." in the Appendix on Abbreviations, we don't use one. We use "[et al.]," in roman script, in both roman and nonroman fields.

I am having a hard time finding Hebrew abbreviations. If I have a work of mixed responsibility and need to use an [et al.] in the 245, what is the equivalent to be used in the Hebrew script field? AACR2 has the abbreviation for un andere, but not for the Hebrew.
