Transcription
This transcription is created automatically. It may contain errors.
The above system, of which £ and o are notable instances, has been
jadopted throughout, even in transliterating old and well-known names
generally spelt otherwise.
Examples—Makka, Madinah, Jashk, Qishm ; Khurasan, Qtadhi and
Masqat.
Ill—Signs.
1. The sign Hamzah L, has been omitted in transliteration as its
effect is otherwise sufficiently distinguishable by the marks used on the
vowel occurring immediately before or after it, e. g. Zaid oil; Pain ^ *
2. The tashdid —is represented by doubling the consonant over
which it stands e, g. Muhammareh, Jinnah. In certain names Tashdid
has also been placed on the last consonant to indicate the local pronun
ciation, e. g., Hadd, HajJ, Rass, Shaqq, Sirr and Taff.
3.^ Accents [i. e. syllabic emphasis) have not been marked, as there
is ordinarily no accent when all the vowels of a word are short, and when
two or more of the vowels are long, the stress is generally distributed
equally between and among the long vowels and, when there is only on
long vowel, the accent falls upon it. The accent is however indicated
in certain more important and pronounced cases by the sign e. g, Jahalah,
Kahafali, Kibisah, Matti (Sabakhat), Qumarah, Sahabah.
IV.—Compound Words.
(a) The two components in a compound name (in the absence of
the Izafat or JI between them) has each been written with
a capital and without a hyphen connecting them, e. a,. Bandar
^Abbas, Hayat Davud.
(5) When, however, the second member of the compound is a verbal
root or is inseparably connected with the first, the whole has
been treated as one word whether written in vernacular as one
word or two, e. g., Imamzadeh. Sabzabad
{c) Components of a compound name of a thing (not of a person or
place) without J| or izafat between them, have been treated as
one or two words as in Rule (£) and {a) above according to
local usage : examples—Alifdan, Ab Ambar, Namakdan.
{d) Where there is an izafat, it is represented by I enclosed between
two hyphens, as for example in Ab-i-Diz, Band-i-Qir,
The Arabic J) has been treated similarly. Examples—Bait-al-Falai
Ruus-al-Jibal.
(e) The J or J) has been modified to correspond in sound with the
following consonant, as for example - Jabal-ad-Dukhan, Sua-
as h-S huy ukh.
