I have a Chumash and was reading the preface and the information about the translation. Then I came across a note that talked about the transliteration of Chet and Kaf, and another note that said the following:
“Out of respect for the late author, Rabbi Matzliah, the Hebrew consonant Vet is rendered with a ‘B’ sound in this work.”
Why does this happen? Is it common? For example, the name of Abraham is written as Avraham, using Vet without the dot in the middle that would normally indicate a ‘B’ sound.
This text was translated with the help of an automatic translator, so I apologize for any mistakes.
