Description
Root Zone Label Generation Ruleset for the Hebrew Script
Overview
This file contains a set of Label Generation Rules (LGR) for the Hebrew script for the Root Zone. For more details on this LGR, see "Proposal for Hebrew Script Root Zone LGR", Version 1.2, February 2019 [Proposal]. This file is one of a set of LGR files that together form an integrated LGR for the DNS Root Zone [RZ-LGR-3]. The format of this file follows [RFC 7940].
Repertoire
According to Section 5, "Repertoire" in [Proposal], the Hebrew LGR contains 27 unique code points, 5 of which are variants (final forms) of 5 others. The repertoire supports the Hebrew and Yiddish languages with restrictions appropriate for domain names. The repertoire is based on [MSR-4], which is a subset of [Unicode 6.3].
The Hebrew script is written from right to left. More details can be found in Section 3, "Background About the Script and Languages Using it" in [Proposal].

Each code point is tagged with the script or scripts that the code point is used with and one or more references documenting sufficient justification for inclusion in the repertoire, see "References" below. Comments provide additional information for some code points.
Variants
According to Section 6 "Variants", in "[Proposal]", this LGR defines five in-script variants, which are final forms of five in-script letters.
Whole Label Evaluation (WLE) and Context Rules
Default Whole Label Evaluation Rules and Actions
The LGR includes the set of required default WLE rules and actions applicable to the Root Zone and defined in [MSR-4]. They are marked with ⍟.
Hebrew-specific Rules
According to Section 7 "Whole Label Evaluation (WLE) Rules" in [Proposal], the LGR does not define rules specific to the Hebrew script.
Methodology and Contributors
For methodology and contributors, see Sections 4 and 8 in [Proposal], as well as [RZ-LGR-3-Overview].
[IL-IDN] was consulted during the work on this LGR.

Variants
Code points grouped into sets of mutual variants. Every member of a set produces the same set of variant labels, so a registration of one has implications for all the others. Sets of a single member are omitted, as are the identity mappings RFC 7940 requires each member to declare.
Rules
Conditions evaluated against a whole label, or against the context around a
single code point. The notation borrows from regular expressions:
^ and $ anchor to the start and end of a label,
. matches any code point, (?= ) and
(?<= ) look ahead and behind, and * and
+ repeat. Two symbols are specific to rulesets:
◆ is the code point being tested, and
⟨name⟩ refers to another rule.

Actions are evaluated in the order shown. The first action whose conditions match determines the disposition of the label.
