Hi Vanessa: The rule on Yiddish is to transliterate what's on the page. The rest is up to you and your conscience. If you have questions about a specific instance, ask the group and provide details.
As for Hebrew words in a Yiddish context, Weinreich and Niborski are the standard references. Weinreich, Uriel. Modern English-Yiddish, Yiddish-English dictionary. Available in many manifestations. Just remember that UR counts the Hebrew article as part of the word, so Hebrew words with the article will be under heh. Niborski, Yitshok. Verterbukh fun Loshn-koydesh-shtamike verter in Yidish. Worth it's weight in gold. I don't remember if Niborski does the thing with the article. ... and Hebrew personal names in a Yiddish context: https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://rascat.pbworks.com/w/page/108390514/Yiddish*20Personal*20Names*20of*20Hebrew*20or*20Aramaic*20Derivation__;JSUlJSUlJQ!!KGKeukY!xrics71AthPF74IvxEIZiKxMtdzeXg4tzdSy34O4bIZ3k7F2mLQgm9qo8AG346dD9fgB8k5lwK52k_b6LwStjS8aTOOcwVSsuw$ Bob On Thu, Jan 9, 2025 at 9:07 AM Freedman, Vanessa via Heb-naco < [email protected]> wrote: > Is there any guidance on how to romanise vocalised Yiddish when it differs > from standardised pronunciation?
