4.5.2Use signs from the Greek foreign language braille code for passages where a significant knowledge of Greek is presupposed or where the Greek language is being taught. Refer to: Section 13, Foreign Language, for more guidance. | |
4.1.1Follow print for the transcription of letters.
Refer to: Section 2.6, Terminology and General Rules, Section 5, Grade 1 Mode, Section 8, Capitalisation and Section 10, Contractions for more information. | |
10.13.12Do not divide a shortform between braille lines. For a word which
includes letters which may be represented by a shortform, retain its usual braille form as to the use of the shortform when dividing the
word between braille lines. | |
10.13.11Do not use a final-letter groupsign at the beginning of the braille
line in a word divided between braille lines. | |
10.13.10Do not use the lower groupsign for "ea", "bb", "cc", "ff", or "gg"
when the letters it represents precede the hyphen or fall at the
beginning of the braille line in a word divided between braille lines. | |
4.2.1Place a modifier before the letter it modifies in braille, irrespective of whether it appears above, below or overlaying the letter(s) in print. Whenever a transcriber-defined modifier is used, give the print symbol it represents in a transcriber's note or on a symbols page. | |
4.2.2If an indicator is required immediately before a modified letter, place the indicator before the modifier. | |
4.2.3Modifiers on letters do not terminate capitalised word mode. | |
4.2.4A modified letter may not form part of a contraction. Note: In words such as théâtre where the contraction for the is not used, the contraction for th can be used. | |
4.2.5If a single modifier applies to more than one letter, enclose the modified letters in braille grouping indicators. Grade 1 indicators are not required for the braille grouping indicators since the modifier can not be followed by a contraction. | |
