The project adopts the general-purpose spelling and transcription rules of the modern Israeli Hebrew and outlined in: P.H. Alexander et al (eds.), The SBL Handbook of Style for Ancient Near Eastern, Biblical, and Early Christian Studies, 1st edition, Hendrickson Publishers 1999, p. 28-29. In order to make it more apt for the electronic use some slight alterations have been introduced:
  • phones alef and ayin are omitted (e.g. elohimavon); 
  • phone chet is rendered as ch and khaf as kh (e.g. chokhmah); 
  • phone he is rendered as h, (e.g. tehom) also when it is mute (e.g. binah
  • phones tet and tav are rendered as t, e.g. torahtov
  • phone sheva nach is omitted, (e.g. sifrey qodesh) while sheva na is rendered as e, (e.g. bemidbar
  • dagesh chazaq is omitted and not doubled, (e.g. shabat instead of shabbat); 
  • short and long vowels are not differentiated, (e.g. bimahgiveret); 
  • the articles, prepositions and conjunctions are connected without the copula, e.g. hashemberosh
