Transliteration Conventions

As many types of programs (i.e., word processing, music engraving, art programs, web development programs, etc. ) were used in the development of this book, it was out of necessity essential to create a simple method by which a basic pronunciation of the various Hebrew texts referenced could be standardized and presented. This simple, yet non-traditional system of transliteration, was compatible with all types of programs utilized and provides a reasonable vocalization of the Hebrew texts into the English language without the necessity to learn the Hebrew script and language.
