# 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 system developed by
# Ray McAllister, Matthew Yeater, and Sarah Blake LaRose in 2014. See:
# <https://www.duxburysystems.com/biblical_scholar.htm>
# This system builds upon the International Hebrew Braille Code,
# maintaining all of its mappings for consonants and vowels and
# adding support for all remaining cantillation and punctuation marks.
# Thus, this code provides all information necessary for chanting
# the text as well as reading it.
# For the 1946 IHBC, see hbo.utb
# For Hebrew without dagesh and shewa, see hbo-slim.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).
# This code was first implemented in LibLouis by Matthew Yeater and Paul Geoghegan and further
# developed by Eric J. Harvey with support from the national
# Endowment for the Humanities (USA) and Stanford University.
# Many thanks to Leonard de Ruijter and Sarah Blake LaRose for their
# help developing and testing the tables, and to Abby Howell for
# suggesting the inclusion of Yiddish characters and reviewing code.
