    In the following examples:

    8-ounce

    10-20 ounces

    Does either hyphen indicate that these be transcribed in Nemeth?

    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.
