[DCRM-L] Transcription rules in DCRM(G)

[Erin Blake]

Because this is an artist's signature, I'd be inclined to interpret the
omissions and missing space as a deliberate transformation of her forename
and surname into a symbol (similar to a monogram). So, I think I'd follow
1G8, and transcribe it exactly: noémielsqins

But I think adding the space and supplying the missing letters like you did
would also work, as long as you make a note that her name appears as "
noémielsqins" in the signature, so that people know it's not that you're
trying to represent a design where the missing "e" and "u" are represented
by swirls of colour or something.

Yours,
Erin.
