See: # <https://www.duxburysystems.com/biblical_scholar.htm> # This code builds upon the 1946 International Hebrew Braille Code, # adding support for the full complement of cantillation marks. # This file contains the Hebrew rules that are necessary for the # IHBC-McAllister system but not shared by other Classical/Biblical # Hebrew tables. # It requires hbo-common-rules.uti to function. # It is included in hbo-cantillated.utb along with basic Latin alphabet # support, but can also be included in tables with other secondary # languages. # 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. # Include common characters include hbo-common-rules.uti # character reordering ## Moving cantillation marks before vowel contractions noback pass2 @34a[@46a$a]@245 *@34a-245 noback pass2 @34a-2a-245 @2a-34a-245 noback pass2 @34a-4a-245 @4a-34a-245 noback pass2 @34a-23a-245 @23a-34a-245 noback pass2 @24a[@46a$a]@245 *@24a-245 noback pass2 @24a-2a-245 @2a-24a-245 noback pass2 @24a-4a-245 @4a-24a-245 noback pass2 @24a-23a-245 @23a-24a-245 # Contracting ultralong vowels (vowel+mater lectionis) ## Holam-waw/consonantal waw with cantillation noback pass3 $l@46a$a[@2456-135a] @246 noback pass3 $l@4a[@2456-135a] @246 noback pass3 @135a[@46a$a]@2456 *@246
