Transliteration
Because of the current limitations of e-mail, the Graphai discussion must
represent Greek and Hebrew in transliteration. We use Beta Code for
Greek and the Michigan-Claremont coding for Hebrew, except that we
allow the use of lower case letters, which are easier to type and
read.
Greek Transliteration
We use "Beta Code" for Greek; for example, Matt. 1:1,
Bi/blos gene/sews )Ihsou= Xristou= ui(ou= Daui\d ui(ou= )Abraa/m.

Hebrew Transliteration
Hebrew, Syriac, and Aramaic texts are coded using to the
Michigan-Claremont system; for example, Gen. 1:1,
