Sigh. How many times must it be repeated that “how Israeli’s say it” is entirely irrelevant? Without standards, the catalog is chaos. Even-Shoshan is our standard.

Thank you for asking. Per E.-Sh., all words that are פלסטינ* are Falasṭin* (where * = wildcard). So it’s Falasṭini (masculine), Falasṭinit (feminine), Falasṭinim (masc. plural), Falasṭiniyot (fem. plural). The name of land is Falasṭin. Thanks again and kol ṭuv, Jasmin ________________________________ From: Gerstein, Nahid <n...@loc.gov<mailto:n...@loc.gov>> Sent: Thursday, May 16, 2019 7:26 AM To: Taub, Jeremiah Aaron; Shinohara, Jasmin Subject: RE: פלסטינים Jasmin, I am working on changing the romaniztion for this word.

(It is in the Romanization FAQchart<http://rascat.pbworks.com/w/page/109347700/Romanization%20FAQ#p>.) I don’t know if it’s a changed romanization, but we all have clean-up to do in our respective databases… Kol tuv, Jasmin --- Jasmin Shinohara Hebraica Cataloging Librarian University of Pennsylvania Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center 3420 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-6206 T. 215-746-6397 jsh...@upenn.edu<mailto:jsh...@upenn.edu>
