However, differentiate between כ/ח and תּ/ט, כּ/ק with the underscore dots and transcribe final ה with an “h.” When Weinreich offers a choice of romanizations, the first is adopted. If a Hebrew two-word expression is written as two words in a Yiddish context, this spacing is imitated in the romanization.
