While we are looking at this phrase ("a UNGEGN transliteration"), I want 
to point out that it was confusing for me because it suggests that there 
are more than one UNGEGN transliteration for a given ordered language 
pair. If that's the case, how is the actually used transliteration 
identified? If it's not the case, then I suggest changing to "the 
corresponding UNGEGN transliteration" (or something similar).

Regards,    Martin.
