Imre be-ma'arava? Imri bi-me'arava? Or something else?
Folks: I have a book with troubling romanization issues: alef-mem-resh-yud bet-mem-ayin-resh-bet-alef. The record in OCLC provides Imre be-ma'arava (sayings in the west), but in light of the fact that book is about the differences in the arguments and argumentation in the two Talmuds (Talmudlar? Talmudok? Talmudim? Talmudayim? Pick your poison) and the apparent grammatical structure of the title, I smell a rat. A large, mis-vocalizing, ungrammatical rat. I suspect that the title should be correctly romanized as, Imri bi-me'arava, reading the alef-mem-resh-yud as a verb, allowing for a bit of flexibility in the prepositional particle, and vocalizing the last as a peal participle with an article, I spoke of the mixture. But I may be barking up the wrong tree in a strange neighborhood of a city that isn't my own. I fear I know just enough to really screw things up, thus I ask for assistance. Please help. Bob

Oh, how I wish I could come! Too bad the timing isn't great and the funding isn't there for me to do so... But here's hoping that we'll hear more from these speakers at AJL Annual! (For those of us who are lucky enough to at least be able to make it there...)

My guess would be: amre be-ma'arava, meaning they say in the west, referring to the sages of Babylonia, but I'd need more context to be sure. Barry Dr. Barry D.

Slip of the quill? I'm sure you meant to say: they say in the west, referring to the sages of the Land of Israel, as referred to in Babylonia.
