Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 >>>You don't think an isolated quote from scripture looks strange without diacritics?<<< I guess my reply comes rather late, but... I would say that all the quotes should be with diacritics. And for proper names, concepts, book titles you can use transcription (no diacritics), but it would be nice (and academically proper) if you add the transliterated form (that is, with diacritics) in parentheses the first time a name or concept appears. For example, on page 3 the name Krishna appears the first time. So you add in parentheses KRSNa. To be thoroughly consistent, you would have to add the transliterated form even when it does not differ from the transcribed, as is the case with bhakti. ys ard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
