@acb in the one the screenshot above it's already a bit awkward because each syllable in yiddish is read bit by bit in the opposite way it's written. not impossible but a bit clunky. it's why even in the Soviet Union Yiddish songbooks were often printed in latin transliteration despite Hebrew and Cyrillic scripts being more familiar to the writers.
