Reason

ROS Hebrew Keyboard Hebrew letters + niqqud

Click any text field, then type. The keyboard stays open until you close it with ×. Click שׁ or שׂ directly—no plain ש is required first. Unpin only when you want to drag the keyboard out of the way. To analyze, highlight a Hebrew word in the form and click Analyze.

Shewa / Reduced-Vowel Family insert the manuscript/pointing sign first; grammatical classification is analyzed separately

Shewa analysis: the same written sign ְ may function differently in context. ROS will distinguish vocal/mobile shewa (שווא נע), silent/quiescent shewa (שווא נח), and context-sensitive historical/Tiberian realization in the Analyzer. The keyboard inserts the written sign; the Analyzer explains its grammatical and phonological function.

Shin / Sin Letters direct letters — no plain ש required first

Other Niqqud applies to the selected/preceding Hebrew letter

Tip: after inserting a Hebrew letter, the keyboard remembers that letter as the niqqud target. You can then click one or more marks (for example שָׁ) without repositioning the caret.

The selected Hebrew word is now captured correctly from the form. This interface does not invent morphology or vocalization; the production ROS linguistic engine will populate the analytical fields only from source-backed analysis.

Manuscript annotations or marginalia present?(Required)

Select Yes for circles, marginal notes, insertion marks, reference symbols, interlinear additions, scribal corrections, or other graphical relationships that ROS should preserve.

Manuscript Annotations / Marginalia

Translator Notes

Optional. Record translation-related observations that do not alter the diplomatic transcription, including lexical, idiomatic, grammatical, semantic, contextual, or English-rendering considerations.

Confidence(Required)

Evidence Level(Required)

Choose the type of evidence supporting this review: Level A = directly visible in the manuscript; Level B = strong linguistic/grammatical evidence; Level C = historical/documentary evidence; Level D = probable reconstruction; Level E = research hypothesis. Do not use Level E for a directly observable manuscript feature.

Editorial Decisions

ROS methodological standards are already adopted. Use the page-specific decision fields below only when the manuscript evidence on this page requires an editorial judgment.

Applicable ROS Standards (already adopted):

Diplomatic transcription remains primary; crossed-out or corrected material is preserved and documented.
Niqqud/vocalization is an optional editorial layer and does not alter the diplomatic transcription.
Interpretive Pathways remain distinct from the literal translation and manuscript evidence.

These standards are shown for reference and are not re-approved on each manuscript page.

Page-Specific Editorial Decisions

Record only decisions created by a specific reading, discrepancy, ambiguity, scribal feature, or other issue on this manuscript page.

Page-specific editorial decision required?(Required)

Use Yes only when manuscript evidence requires a documented scholarly judgment. A routine transcription correction does not automatically require an Editorial Decision.
