Talk:Textual variants in the Primary Chronicle

Transliteration norms
I'm using User:Nederlandse Leeuw/Early Cyrillic quickref, adapted from Early Cyrillic alphabet. These are the transcription principles I will prefer: This means preferring ALA-LC over Int. in 10 cases, but otherwise following Int.
 * 1) to generally prefer the International (Int.) system, unless ALA-LC has a better option;
 * 2) to be unambiguous/precise: if two different Cyrillic letters are transcribed the same according to either Int. or ALA-LC, prefer whichever transcribes them differently, e.g. prefer Int. x instead of Int. ch or ALA-LC kh for Х х;
 * 3) to use as few non-Latin letters and as few diacritics as possible for non-expert readability, e.g. prefer ALA-LC zh instead of Int. ž for Ж ж.
 * 4) #2 takes precedence over #3, e.g. prefer ALA-LC ī instead of Int. i for І і / Ї ї.
 * Ж ж Zhe (Cyrillic) > zh
 * Ѕ ѕ / Ꙃ ꙃ Dze > dz
 * И и I (Cyrillic) > и=i, й=ĭ
 * І і / Ї ї > ī
