# Transliteration table for Hebrew
# Based on the UNGEGN table at:
# http://www.eki.ee/wgrs/rom1_he.pdf
#
# Exceptions:
# - Accents are added to disambiguate letters
# - Combinations of dagesh, shin/sin dot that produce different
# letters are not yet encoded.
#
# To test, open:
# http://www.ibm.com/software/globalization/icu/demo/transform
# Click Edit, paste in this file, Save As hebrew-latin/XXX
# (where XXX is a username)
# Now go back to the main window, and try it out.
# Use hebrew-latin/XXX for Output 1, and (Inverse) for Output 2
# Paste in hebrew text in Input, and hit Transliterate.
