No sorry, you're right about YIVO, I made a confusion with "beys" and "veys". But the second part of the sentence is still valid...

Bertrand Laidain scripsit:

Not exactly, in standard YIVO orthography, Yiddish p is pe (without
dagesh) and f is pe-rafe. In some yiddish books you will find pe-dagesh
for p but on the other hand f will be pe (without rafe).

Well, I was drawing on http://www.yivoinstitute.org/yiddish/alefbeys.htm ,
so if YIVO can't get its own orthography right, I don't know what to think.
