Dear Harry,

Yes, although not consistently, in Hindi. The same is true of Hindi texts in Devanagari-- some editors hyphenate compounds while others do not; some separate the roots while others leave them graphically joined. In both cases, this is largely due to confusion about what terms are compounds and which are not. (A bigger problem for premodern than modern Hindi.)

Best,

TWW

Dear list members,

I've been asked this question to which I don't know the answer. In the transliteration of Hindi or Marathi are dashes usually placed between stems of compounds as is sometimes done in transliterating sanskrit.

Thanks,
Harry Spier
