Traditional Egyptological transcription of '''Hieroglyphic Ancient Egyptian''' uses punctuation, too. This punctuation is in conflict with the punctuation as defined by the [[Glossing Rules]].
Traditional Egyptological transliteration of '''Hieroglyphic Ancient Egyptian''' uses punctuation, too. This punctuation is in conflict with the punctuation as defined by the [[Glossing Rules]].
 
Note that what English speaking Egyptologists usually called ‘transliteration’ should rather be labeled a ‘[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration#Difference_from_transcription transcription]’ in accordance with linguistic standards.

In order to prevent any confusion, it is strongly advisable or, as far as “-”, “=”, and “&lt;&nbsp;&gt;” are concerned, even mandatory not to use these symbols in their traditional meaning in the Glossing transcription line (directly above the Glossing line). Keep in mind that the '''number and sequence of “-”, “=”, “~”, and “&lt;&nbsp;&gt;” in the Glossing transcription and the gloss needs to [[Glossing_Rules#Correct_sequential_alignment|match exactly]]'''.

In the Glossing transcription line, all symbols need to be used according to the [[Glossing Rules]]. In the Traditional transcription line, however, the encoder may use all the symbols according to his/her Egyptological tradition.
