Hi Hayim, We do romanize this as bi-khelal. ALA/LC romanization is focused on "sheva naʻ" and "sheva naḥ". Take a look at Paul Maher's "Hebraica cataloging" (page 10).

The ב takes a hirik and the כ keeps the shva. This shva becomes a shva merachef. My question is: in romanizing this word should it be bikhlal or bi-khelal? My inclination is towards the former, since I've been taught that the shva merachef is not a real (vocalized) shva.
