Notes

  1. The use of extended Latin characters in this document leverages use of the Unicode standard, as approved by the NDMSO office of the Library of Congress in December, 2007, while remaining usable for libraries using MARC-8 as well. Within a strictly MARC8 environment, the double underscore may continue to be applied to a base character ‘n’ following LC-PCC PS for 1.4 for the characters ŋ and ɲ, resulting in n̳ and n̳. The resulting ambiguity of n̳, however, illustrates the advantage of extended Latin.
  2. Insert a single prime ( ʹ ) between two letters representing two distinct consonantal sounds when the combination might otherwise be read as a digraph or in another way.

  3. Ignore diacritics when romanizing Coptic, following the practice of the Journal of Coptic Studies, with the exception of iaude (ⲓ) and ua (ⲩ) diareses.
