User:Sartma/Hybrid Hebrew transliteration 2.0

Hybrid Hebrew transliteration
A new transliteration proposal for Biblical Hebrew. The following conversion table gives a one-to-one transliteration guide for Biblical Hebrew vowels. The combination of the 7 vowel system plus the use of macrons makes it possible to always know what mater lectionis corresponds to the transliterated value, correcting the inconsistencies of the "circumflex transliteration system" (מָה\מֶה\מַה mâ/meh/mah vs mɔ/mɛ/ma, "ê" used to transliterate both אֵה and אֵי, etc.).

Vowels

 * Basic system: 7 vowel system (a, ɔ, i, e, ɛ, o, u)
 * Vowel + ה = simple vowel (mater lectionis heʾ is always used at the end of a word: this means that heʾ can always be postulated for a transliterated word ending in a simple vowel)
 * Vowel + mater lectionis (except ה) = macron

בַ = ba בָ = bɔ | (בָי = bɔ̄) | בָה = bɔ בִ = bi | בִי = bī בֵ = be | בֵי = bē  | בֵה = be בֶ = bɛ | בֶי = bɛ̄   | בֶה = bɛ בֹ = bo | בוֹ = bō   | בֹה = bo בֻ = bu | בוּ = bū

Shwa'

 * The "shwas" would be: ə, ă, ɛ̆, ɔ̆.
 * See Vocal and silent shwa'.

Consonants

 * א (aleph) always transliterated as ʾ.
 * ק = q (better than ḳ because it has no diacritics + traditional in transliterations of other Semitic languages)
