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

FitzGerald seems to have been simply unsystematic

I would appreciate it if you would go into more detail on this matter.


you yourself have mentioned several inconsistincies.
