# The first Hebrew Braille table hosted on LibLouis was developed by
|
||
# the Library for the Blind and the Ministry of Education in
|
||
# Israel. It is intended for use with Modern Hebrew.
|
||
# Please see World Braille usage 3rd edition, p. 74.
|
||
#
|
||
# The tables hbo.utb, hbo-cantillated.utb, and hbo-slim.utb are designed for Classical Hebrew (also called Biblical Hebrew). Classical Hebrew contains vowels, punctuation, and cantillation marks not used in Modern Hebrew.
|
||
#
|
||
# This table translates according to the standard in
|
||
# Eliezer Katz, Hebrew Braille: A Manual for Hebrew Braille and
|
||
# Basic Hebrew (with Attention to Transcribers), New York: JBI
|
||
# International, 1961.
|
||
# It is the most compact of the three systems, including all vowels
|
||
# except shewa, excluding dageshes where they are represented by
|
||
# dot 5, and including only the punctuation marks paseq, etnahta,
|
||
# and sof pasuq.
|
||
# For Hebrew with shewa and dagesh but limited cantillation, see hbo.utb.
|
||
# For fully cantillated Hebrew, see hbo-cantillated.utb
|
||
#
|
||
# All three tables forward-translate Hebrew and uncontracted English
|
||
# and back-translate Hebrew. They provide access to critical editions
|
||
# of the Hebrew Bible, such as Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and
|
||
# Biblia Hebraicaa Quinta, as well as rabbinic and liturgical texts.
|
||
# They also work for cognate languages that used the common Northwest
|
||
# Semitic linear alphabet in antiquity, including Old and Imperial
|
||
# Aramaic, Moabite, Edomite, and Phoenician (as, for example, in
|
||
# the Corpus Inscriptionum Semiticarum and Kanaanäische und Aramäische
|
||
# Inschriften).
|
||
|
||
# Developed by Eric J. Harvey with support from the national
|
||
# Endowment for the Humanities (USA) and Stanford University.
|
||
# Many thanks to Leonard de Ruijter, Sarah Blake LaRose, Matthew
|
||
# Yeater, and Paul Geoghegan for their help developing and testing the
|
||
# tables, and to Abby Howell for suggesting the inclusion of Yiddish
|
||
# characters and reviewing code.
