[Lynda Foster]

In the following examples:

8-ounce

10-20 ounces

Does either hyphen indicate that these be transcribed in Nemeth?

[Kyle A. DeJute]

Thank you for the question, Lynda.

A hyphen as a mark of punctuation does not indicate that material be transcribed in Nemeth. A hyphen is not a modification of a number.

So, neither “8-ounce” nor “10-20 ounces” need be transcribed in Nemeth.
