coöperation and not cooperation or co-operation. For the Simhalese, excepting where the words are in Sanskrit, the conventions of rendering Simhalese in Roman are to be followed : e.g. dägaba and not dagaba
veve or véve and not vey Quotations from old Indian sources involving long passages, complete verses etc., should be rendered in Nāgarī script. (The Western writers, however, may render these in Roman script if they wish; these will be re-rendered in Nāgari if necessary, by the editors.) Sanskrit quotations rendered in Roman are to be transliterated with sandhi-viccheda (disjoining), following the conventions of the Epigraphia Indica, but the signs for laghu-guru of the syllables in a meter (when the citation is in verse) are not to be used.
Place Names These are to be diacriticised, excepting the anglicised modern : Examples :
Mathurā, Kauśāmbi, Valabhi, Kāñci, Uraiyūr, Tiļevalli, etc., but Allahabad (not Allāhābād), Calcutta (not Calcattā), Madras (and not Madrāsa.)
ANNOTATIONS There will not be footnotes; but annotations (or notes and references), serially arranged, will appear en masse at the end of the text in each article.
References to published works Those pertaining to articles, books, etc., appearing in the main body of the text, or annotations, or otherwise : Book :
Author's name (beginning with his initials) title, edition (if any) used, the name of the series (if it appears within it); next the place of publication along with year of publication, but without a comma between; finally the page (or pages) from where the citation is taken or to which a reference is made.
