I would paraphrase what you said as saying that the matter depends on
what you are transcribing.

transliterations and transcriptions are different.

Would you call <Jamshyd> -- the only word in FitzGerald's _Rubáiyát of
Omar Khayyám_ that renders a Persian vowel as <y> -- a
transliteration? In the first two editions the name is written even
more perversely, "Jamshýd".
