Regarding: no91-3568 (Elyakim ben Avraham, mi-London,
1745-1814):
This author wrote only in Hebrew under the name chosen
as the heading.
This accords with rule 22.2B1: "If all the works
by one person appear under one pseudonym, choose
the pseudonym."
The rule goes on to say that if the real name is
known, a ref should be made from it, and this has been
done (there is a ref
from Hart, Jacob, 1745-1814). There might be some
argument here as to which is the "real name" and which
is the
"pseudonym," but anyway the heading is the name under which
the books are written, which is the critical point.

Another case deals with Sh. Didovski who writes under the penname Dido. The NAF already has another Dido:

1. LCRI 22.2B (p. 1, point 3 under "Multiple Headings--Contemporaries") says that when a contemporary person publishes under at least one pseudonym, there must be a heading for thhe name published under (here, "Dido" ) and ALSO a heading for the "possibly unused" real name (here, "Didovski, Sh.").
2. If there's already a heading identical to one of these headings, and they can't be distinguished by one of the legitimate kinds of qualifiers ($d, $q, or some kinds of $c), the existing heading must become "undifferentiated" or "non-unique," with the various changes in coding and special 670s that process entails.
3. Legitimate $c-type qualifying terms for 20th-century persons are described in rule 22.19B1 ("e.g., terms of address, titles of position or office, initials of an academic degree, initials denoting membership in an organization"--but see also in paragraph 5 below), and "poet" is not such a term. There are some cases in the database where "poet" has beeen used, but these are not justified by rules. CPSO specifically states that these are not legitimate.
4. LCRI 22.17-22.20, p.2 allows for $q qualifiers which
are not simple expansions of initialisms, with examples like "Clapper,
John$q(John Samuel)" and "Jorgen, Dick$q(Richard Clark)." But CPSO
distinguishes cases like these from
"Dido$q(Sh. Didovski)" on the grounds that the two elements on either
side of the $q in the proposed example are too dissimilar.
5. CPSO points out, though, that rule 22.19A1 allows for a made-up
parenthetical qualifier to break conflicts if the entry element is a given
name.
What's NOT allowed is "Dido,$cpoet" (rule 22.19B1).
What IS allowed is "Dido$c(Poet)" (rule 22.19A1), but this is allowed
only because (or if) "Dido" is a "forename."
We are not sure that "Dido" is a given name, but on the other hand,
what else could it be?
So how about "Dido$c(Poet)" for the heading? Then it won't have
to be non-unique.
