sequences. This can apply to a mixture of Arabic numerals and nonroman numerals,
as well as Hebrew (Greek, Church Slavic, &c.) <b>numeric</b> sequences only.
If I remember your research, nearly all Hebrew signings follow a numeric
sequence, right? You had to look hard to find some that expressed an alphabetic
sequence. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

7B9.8 is the general rule. It is then followed by particular rules for Greek
(7B9.9) and Hebrew (7B9.10). Then we move into the scripts for which printers
did not follow standard sequence (Church Slavic), or where a standard sequence is
not known (7B9.11). <o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:blue'>I was reading in DCRM B this morning on the subject of non-Roman
signatures (specifically those signed in Hebrew script) and find I remain a bit
confused on the subject. There are two separate paragraphs dealing in some way
with Hebrew script signatures, namely 7B9.7 on Nonroman signatures
(numeric sequence) and 7B9.10 Hebrew alphabetic signatures. I thought I
followed and understood the outcome of the discussion of this matter on this
list, but apparently I missed something. Is 7B9.7 meant to apply to those
signature statements that include both Hebrew characters and Arabic numerals
and 7B9.10 meant to apply to those expressed in Hebrew characters only?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
