| # 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. |
