But, yes, many old sources used bh for vet and th for aspirated tav, etc.
I'm talking specifically about that particular book. It's almost perfectly consistent, but not exactly so. Does that mean that the spellings that would have appeared in it if it were perfectly consistent are correct according to its scheme?
