That would be great! I used Khan's work in the syllabification package this package uses. If you're able to do it, you can open a PR. |

Yes, Tiberian Pronunciation Tradition has much to do with syllabification because that's how you know a vowel is long or short if is in an open syllable or a closed accentuated syllable. In Tiberian vocalization that's why they invented sheva, not to write down a "very short vowel" but to not allow a short vowel to be lenghtened if in an open syllable. Tiberian tradition noted vowels QUALITY and not QUANTITY etc. Right now reading your code to better understant how to lenghten vowels when accentuated or in open syllables, remove quiescent Aleph (like in baʀ̟eːˈʃiːiθ) and add rules of sheva as normal short vowels with quality of a, ɔ, e, ɛ, o, u and i (khatefs don't have all the qualities). |

Let me know what kind of issues you run into. Some work may have to be done on the havarotjs package, and I have an idea to improve the |

Sure, I'll come back to you later with all the rules from Geoffrey Khan's work and the problems I encounter. Indeed, some changes should be made. One case is the שְׁתַּיִם word being transliterated as šǝtayim but in the Tiberian tradition had silent shewa (was the only exception in this case at a beginning of a word) being pronounced as [ˈʃtaːyim] or according to some medieval sources as [ʔɛʃˈtaːjim]. Or other cases when shewa was silent but is transliterated as vocal, e.g. שֹֽׁמְרִים֙ šōmǝrîm but according to Tiberian rules was pronounced [ˌʃoːmˈʀiːm] with silent shewa etc. |

That one is tricky; I even mentioned it in the syllabification docs.

About שְׁתַּיִם and other exceptions (in other cases) maybe they should be manually added to a list of exceptions? |

Any idea where should I add some rules, let's say, for quality of shewa or vowel length (open syllable or accentuated closed syllable)? Delete quiescent Aleph, He, Waw, Yod etc. Can be added in schema? I already added a new tiberianKhan.js module with definitions of signs and sqnmlvy/wawShureq/STRESS_MARKER etc. bǝʀ̟eʔˈʃîθ bɔˈʀ̟ɔʔ ʔĕloˈhîm ˈʔeθ haʃʃɔˈmajim vǝˈʔeθ hɔʔɔʀ̟ɛsˁ I need to get this: baʀ̟eːˈʃiːiθ bɔːˈʀ̟ɔː ʔɛloːˈhiːim ˈʔeːeθ haʃʃɔːˈmaːjim veˈʔeːeθ hɔːˈʔɔːʀ̟ɛsˁ |

Check out this new branch where you can use a callback for an additional feature. See the test for an example. If you're working on a branch, you can rebase on that branch. |

It's a little rough const heb = require("./dist/index");
const additionalFeatureTransliteration = require("./dist/rules").additionalFeatureTransliteration;
const str = "יְהִי";
const result = heb.transliterate(str, {
ADDITIONAL_FEATURES: [
{
FEATURE: "cluster",
HEBREW: "\u05B0",
TRANSLITERATION: (cluster, transliteration, schema) => {
const shewa = new RegExp(transliteration, "u");
const clusterText = cluster.text;
/**
* @type {Cluster}
*/
const next = cluster.next;
const gutturalYodVowel = /[אהחעי]([\u{05B1}-\u{05BB}\u{05C7}])/u;
const match = next.text.match(gutturalYodVowel);
if (shewa.test(clusterText) && match) {
return additionalFeatureTransliteration(clusterText, shewa, match[1], schema);
}
return clusterText;
}
}
]
});
console.log(result);
// yihîSome of the naming conventions need to be improved in the callback. |

Odd enough I get this result on the console: Is verbose or smth? |

This should give the correct result y(cluster, transliteration, schema) => {
const shewa = new RegExp(transliteration, "u");
const clusterText = cluster.text;
/**
* @type {Cluster}
*/
const next = cluster.next;
- const gutturalYodVowel = /[ʾhḥʿy]([\u{05B1}-\u{05BB}\u{05C7}])/u;
+ const gutturalYodVowel = /[אהחעי]([\u{05B1}-\u{05BB}\u{05C7}])/u;
const match = next.text.match(gutturalYodVowel);
if (shewa.test(clusterText) && match) {
return additionalFeatureTransliteration(clusterText, shewa, match[1], schema);
}
return clusterText;

If you're still on main, checkokut the latest branch and build:
git switch add-feature-cb
npm run buil
node test.js

Yeah, right now everything is a little too tightly coupled. Because Tiberian moves more into the realm of transcription, rather than transliteration, there are still a lot of improvements that need to be made |

fyi, I recently had a new addition to my family so work on this project has been slowed. I'll keep working on havarotjs which help improve this, but it will be a while before I get any solid work done on this. |

It could be very useful to add The Tiberian Pronunciation Tradition (https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0163) as per Geoffrey Khan work. Not very hard, working on it myself for a personal project.
Example for Genesis 1:1
