<title>Unwritten consonants</title>
<body>
<p><b>Conventions</b></p>
<p>The transliteration in BTS represents the written forms as they appear in the text.
Nevertheless, we recommend determining any unwritten grammatical or phonetic elements, and
(correctly) unwritten - but not weak - consonants by using round brackets “(...)”. This helps
the reader to understand your translation and makes it easier for you to lemmatize your text,
as the lemmatizer will find the respective entries automatically.</p>

</p>
<p>NOTE: Dots and commas have to be written within the round brackets: <i>...(.w)</i>,
<i>...(,j)</i>.</p>
<p/>
<p>This means that whenever a strong radical is (incorrectly) unwritten, it has to appear in the
transliteration. There are a few exceptions which are listed below.</p>
