The Mi Yodeya user MoriDoweedhYaa3qob uses an unusual system for writing Hebrew in a Western character set. I do not think it is the IPA. I cannot describe the whole system, but it differs from more common transliteration schemes in several ways.

@Shokhet If a user hasn't been active here recently they will be unpingable in chat.
@Shokhet Mostly because I hadn't read the other one yet :) Biblical archaeology seems to me to fit in with parshanut of tanakh somewhat, though I agree the connection to Judaism could be clearer. I defer unilaterally closing until others weigh in, especially given that @msh210 saw it and left it open.
@YEZ Somehow off...topic? A question about a user on our site belongs on meta, as do standards for transliteration. Hebrew questions in general are off-topic too.

@YEZ You mean answercount, ? You're selecting from the table users, which has no answercount column.
This past Shabas, someone in my vicinity told someone else in my vicinity that -- and I have no idea whether this is true -- most sh'lichus cannot be via a monkey, but sh'lichus of mishloach manos can, as it's a different kind of sh'lichus, which is derived from the wording of a verse somewhere in Esther, but he couldn't remember what. So I pointed him to 3:2 -- "kor'im umishtachavim l'ha-monkey".
@DoubleAA the topics seem comparable in on-topic-ness to me (biblical archaeology is a little closer, granted), but this pair of questions got me wondering why "were can I find a book about X?" is acceptable here at all, versus "I have a question about X (that might be answered by a good book)". Have we had that discussion before?
Is there anything about talmud-bavli that cannot be covered by talmud-gemara and/or the pertinent masechet tags?
There are under 60 questions, many of which are already tagged under other Gemara tags.
Note: I'm not asking about talmud-yerushalmi, as it is a different format than the Bavli, and ...
Yes, see Bamidbar 6:3
ג מיין ושכר יזיר, חמץ יין וחמץ שכר לא ישתה
he shall abstain from wine and strong drink: he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink (JPS 1917)
For elaboration, see Mishneh Torah Hilchos Nezirus Chapter 5.
@Shokhet it looks to me like you got +2 for the edit and +2 for accepting an answer. Do you see something different in the reputation tab on your profile? (Yes, +2 for an edit is correct.)
I wonder how hard it would be to find all citations to a given set of texts referenced on this site and post them for reference somewhere on the web.
Would anyone think this is a useful endeavor? Would anyone be interested in doing this?
Inspired by my previous question regarding heating up soup on Shabbat, I present a challenge to the Judaism StackExchange community --
List halachot which have halachic decisions ranging from outright Torah violations (i.e. not simply a rabbinic violation) all the way to 100% sanctioned and perm...
Inspired by this question ( SE Challenge: Halachot in which rulings range from permissible to Torah violation?) , I thought I'd go further. Can you think of any Halachoth whose rulings range from obligatory to a (Torah) prohibition?
@DoubleAA aha -- my search was unhelpful because I was trying "forbidden" rather than "violation". (Also "permitted" instead of "permissible", but it probably would have gotten that if that'd been the only problem.)
@DoubleAA, regarding your question on the term in the responsum: it means elbow. it is iraqi colloquial arabic: see the entry 'eckis' in this page of names of parts of the body: quizlet.com/3882421/iraqi-arabic-body-parts-flash-cards
