Re: u-fo'etit or u-poetit

LC practice in, like, the last thirty or forty years has almost always been to treat "po'emah" and its derivatives as "naturalized" Hebrew, like "prozah." So I recommend "u-fo'etit." Joan >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/22/05 5:17 PM >>> Dear group, Would "vov,peh,vov,alef,tet,yud,tav" be transcribed

Re: u-fo'etit or u-poetit

This sounds all right, but perhaps more trouble than it's worth. Why not assume that a word is NOT an exception unless it is on a certain list (which we can maintain)--a list that so far, in my mind at least, consists only of "bibliyografyah" and "Polin." Maybe we could extend it to "any forei

This one is not an exception to the usual rule for Hebrew words. --Joan >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/23/05 11:57 AM >>> I remember Mavet be-Furim. Shoshanah At 10:42 AM 3/23/2005, you wrote: >Offhand the only words I can recall that ARE treated exceptionally in >recent records are "bibliyografyah"

Re: u-fo'etit or u-poetit

Dear Daniel, I wonder if we should try and define what is meant by "exception". Perhaps we can suggest that if a foreign loan word appears in Even-Shoshan with a prefix, we would transcribe it as it appears. The example provided by Paul Maher as an exception is "u-frozah" which appears with a pr

Re: u-fo'etit or u-poetit

Offhand the only words I can recall that ARE treated exceptionally in recent records are "bibliyografyah" ("u-bibliyografyah") and "Polin" ("be-Polin"). Can anyone think of others? Joan >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/23/05 9:00 AM >>> Dear Heidi, I'm looking at p. 19 in Maher's Guide, where he writ

Re: u-fo'etit or u-poetit

Dear Heidi, I'm looking at p. 19 in Maher's Guide, where he writes: "A few loan words are also treated as though exempt from the rules governing the aspiration/non-aspiration of b/v, k/kh, and p/f when preceeded by an open syllable." Since this applies only to exceptions, and, though the guidel

u-fo'etit or u-poetit

Dear group, Would "vov,peh,vov,alef,tet,yud,tav" be transcribed as "u-po'etit" or "u-fo'etit". I am guessing "u-po'etit" but would like to hear from others. Thanks, Heidi Heidi G. Lerner Hebraica/Judaica Cataloger Catalog Dept. Stanford Univ. Libraries Stanford, CA 94305-6004 e-mail: [EMAIL PROTE
