What you do now is transliterate Phoenician text into Hebrew or Latin.
Phoenician to Hebrew is not a transliteration;
Yes, it is, Dean. But I shall not try to convince you any longer.
I don't use Latin.
That's your choice. Do you use Hebrew encodings with Phoenician glyphs? I suspect that you do not.
>You already do that, since Hebrew and Latin are "competing" encodings.
I don't use, or advocate the use of, Latin.
So what? Many Semiticist scholars do. -- Michael Everson * * Everson Typography * * http://www.evertype.com
