Historically important but incomplete transliteration in the FSG alphabet.
Origin and purpose
The transliteration made by Friedman's First Study Group, in the format prepared by Jim Reeds and Jacques Guy (FSG.txt, Reeds, 18 June 1994), extracted from the LSI file and converted back to the FSG alphabet, then checked against the original and the full ZL transliteration (upstream note 20).

- 2026-09-27 — Singulion package (QuantumLynx Research, 16 Jul 2026): the singulion map assigns sheet positions to 54 folios that have no text in this transliteration (f12r, f12v, f57v, f65v, f58v, f65r, f64v, f59r, f59v, f64r, f63v, f60r, f60v, f63r, f62v, f61r, f61v, f62r, f68v1, f67v2, f67v1, f68r3, f70v2, f70v1, f69v, f70r1, f72v3, f72v2, f72v1, f71r, f71v, f72r1, f72r2, f72r3, f74v, f73r, f73v, f74r, f85r2, f85v, f86r, f92v, f91r, f91v, f92r, f98v, f97r, f97v, f98r, f116v, f110v, f109r, f109v, f110r); they are absent from the reordered file. No folio of the transliteration falls outside the map. The package has had minimal QA (QuantumLynx Research resource page). source
