Dear All, In this computer database age I am having difficulty knowing how to transcribe a yogh. I'm finding it hard to find a symbol in the available normal text symbols that looks right when copied into our Adlib database. Can anyone tell me how they get round this please? Failing that could anyone tell me whether there is a convention for it? Should I just decide whether y or g is most appropriate (in the catalogue in question it appears in two different names of witnesses) or should I put [yogh]ege? Belated thanks to everyone who responded about my other two recent problems. My scanning project is now underway - our IT department was extremely helpful and just gave us extra server space, so I won't have a word said against them. We will start out making CDs for searchroom use but will keep this under review to see whether they get enough use for the effort involved. We did take the microfilm camera but have yet to use it.
