[DCRM-L] Medial i, j, u, v

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Not explicit, but covered in 0G2.1 and 0G2.2. 0G2.1 says to normalize capitalization according to AACR2 Appendix A. 0G2.2 follows up with the special case: "If the rules for capitalization require converting I or V to lowercase, or I, j, u, or v to uppercase, follow the pattern of usage in the text to determine which letterform to use in the transcription." Therefore, if you are not converting case for those letters, you use the letterform as found.

Is there explicit instructions in DCRMB regarding the transcription of a medial i, j, u, and v that does not require case conversion?

Thanks in advance.
