Summary

ALA-LC batch 4 (East Asian, work order 04-ala-lc-batch-4): three new authority maps transcribed from the ALA-LC romanization tables at loc.gov, each from the document's complete text layer cross-checked against the page images.

alalc-jpn-Hrkt-Latn-2022 — Japanese, McCune-Reischauer (source: japanese.pdf, June 2022, 37 pp.)

• Encodes the Romanized/Kana Equivalent Charts completely: chart A (Standard, gojūon + dakuten + yōon incl. the small-kana cells) and chart B (Non-traditional, 40 foreign-sound sequences), kana-by-kana per §2.1 and §2.4.2.1.
• Deterministic orthographic rules of the same document: lengthening-bar macron (§2.5.1), sokuon doubling with the ch→tch exception (chart note ii: appaku, gakkai, tosshin, mitchaku), n-apostrophe before vowels/y (§5.2: Shin'etsu, hon'yaku), kana repetition markers ゝゞ (§4.4.1), punctuation/typographical equivalents (§4.2-4.3).
• M remainder (noted in metadata): kanji readings are context-dependent (§2.2-2.4 preferred readings; earlier editions marked kanji entries M) — this map covers the deterministic kana tables only. Also documented as remainders with the document's own evidence: morpheme-dependent vowel merging (the document attests identical kana こうし as both Kōshi (孔子) and koushi (子牛)), particle readings は/へ→wa/e, capitalization (§3) and word division (§6).
• A document-internal contradiction is recorded: chart B prints すぇ/スェ→swe while note iii's worked example prints スェ|sue; the chart row is operative.

alalc-zho-Hani-Latn-2012 — Chinese (source: chinese.pdf, 2012, 21 pp.)

• The 2012 ALA-LC Chinese table is Pinyin-based — it explicitly replaced the Wade-Giles system of earlier editions (Rules of Application 1), so the work order's Wade-Giles premise applies to the superseded tables, not this document.
• Encodes the 321 characters attested with readings in the document's own example lines (the document provides no general hanzi table; it delegates readings to Ci Hai and other dictionaries), under the Separation of Syllables rule (each character's syllable separated by a space), with the bracket→quotation-mark rule (Punctuation 2) and 大 → any([dai, da]) as attested (大夫 dài fu vs 大師 dà shi). Simplified and traditional forms as printed.
• Word-formation rules (name joining, Chang'an apostrophe, capitalization, reign-period dates) are context-dependent and recorded in notes.

alalc-zho-Latn-Latn-2012 — Wade-Giles → Pinyin correspondence (same source)

• The document's only complete table: Correspondence of Wade-Giles to Pinyin, pages 9-21, all 397 printed rows in order — the device for normalizing WG spellings in older catalog records to the 2012 forms. Printed quirks preserved (ssu/szu→si, o→e, no→nuo, so→suo); aspiration mark printed as U+2018 with U+2019/U+0027 accepted as input folds.

Test plan

• interscript-ts parse-all-isc: 407/407 parse
• All embedded tests pass through the TS runtime — 214 new tests (113 Japanese incl. the document's §2.4.2.1/§2.5/§5.2/note-ii examples, 62 Chinese Hani, 38 WG→Pinyin) — plus full test/isc/ suite (119) green
• git status shows only the three new files
• No generated artifacts committed
