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
RE: where to class?
Jewish Theological Seminary Library has a manuscript of Sefer ha-Shem Which the manuscript cataloger ascribed to Moses ben Shem Tov, de Leon, Who died in 1305, So I would cutter by 14th century author Even if it was not published until 1601, and not by title as if it were a 20th century work. I would be inclined to class it in BM525 under the author, M64 or M643 or M65, or whatever fits best in your shelf list.

I am not sure where to class this. I am entering it under title since authorship is not clear. I am making an added entry for Moses ben Shem Tov, de Leon.

RE: 'Avodat ha-kodesh
Joan, The phrase “koaH gavra” is Aramaic, describing pouring water from each hand onto the other for ritual rinsing. The phrase “gavra raba,” for a great man, is also Aramaic. Here two idioms overlap in a novel usage. Therefore I see the closing word as the Aramaic verb ka-atu, the conventional prefix with the verb “they come.” Something like: Resplendent as the radiant stars coming from the power of the hand of a great man. If you don’t like my reading, you can give me the bird, so to speak.

Alkalai prints sheva only when it is sounded, and leaves space under consonant blank when it is silent sheva.
