I wanted to call everyone's attention to an error in the plan for migrating the AACR2 records for Koran to RDA. The RDA form of Qur'an does NOT have a macron over the a, as it does in the migration plans and examples.

As you can see by looking in the RDA Toolkit, the examples do not have the macron (see for example 6.23.2.18). Adam ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Adam L.
