Gimeltra
Type a word in Hebrew, read it back in Phoenician. Gimeltra transliterates consonants between 24 mostly-Semitic writing systems, dropping vowels and marks so the abjad skeleton carries across alphabets that never shared a keyboard.
It is a small, scriptable tool — no phonetic model, no vocalisation, no guesswork. One TSV of rules, Latin as the pivot, and a fast per-character pass.
Install
pip install gimeltra
Use it
Library:
from gimeltra import tr
tr("שלום", sc="Hebr", to_sc="Latn") # 'šlwm'
tr("bytk", sc="Latn", to_sc="Phnx") # '𐤁𐤉𐤕𐤊'
tr("bytk") # auto-detects the source script
Command line (gimeltrapy):
gimeltrapy -t "שלום" -s Hebr -o Latn
echo "bytk" | gimeltrapy -o Arab
gimeltrapy --stats # list every supported script
Scripts are named by their ISO 15924 code (Hebr, Arab, Latn, …). Omit -s and Gimeltra guesses the source from the text.
