what is the recommended convention for representing *letters* which may
not be identical to the phonemes? [ ... ]is for actual speech, / ... /
is for phonemes, how about the just the leters, asuming an appropriate
transliteration system? i.e. "in an inscription one finds y - w - s -
f" (but do this more economically). in article, a well known arabist
recommends italics, and criticisez an author using /... / (IIRC such a
crticiism was voiced in an earlier post) which is not possible in an
ASCII post. so how do it?
