Subject: Ukrainian-to-Latin transliteration **


Dear Colleagues,

I have been away from "email-ru.tex" for several weeks. Looking 
at the Ukrainian-to-Latin transliteration posted a while back, I 
see another glitch which comes from

http://www.rada.kiev.ua/translit.htm

The glitch is:

Kr'ukivka --> Krukivka

Where Ukrainian ASCII-Cyrillic is on the left and the official 
transliteration on the right should be Kriukivka since it is 
explained that 'u = \cyryu --> iu except at word beginnings 
where it 'u --> yu.

I have more-or-less implemented the official transliteration in 
"email-ru.tex". Its "context sensitive" nature makes the TeX 
programming far more fussy and fragile than that for the Lib of 
Congress transliteration of Russian. To check its performance, 
it would be useful to have some literature presented in both 
Cyrillic and in correct Ukrainian-to-Latin transliteration.

Question can anyone provide an URL for that? There are huge 
quantities of transliterated *Russian* literature on the web 
along with the the Cyrillic version; see http://lib.ru/lat . 
What about Ukrainian?

Cheers

Laurent Siebenmann
