Information about the transliteration scheme can be found at this URL:
http://www.ibiblio.org/bhebrew/

Since Hebrew is most often written without vowels, it is a natural thing for
list members to exclude vowels in their transliterations. Transliterations
are from left-to-right in the common English order.

(M or (AM = "am" עם (people)
A is for "patach"

MLK or MELEK = "melekh" מלך (king, ruler)
E is for "segol"

MLK or MFLAK = "malakh" מָלַךְ (he ruled, reigned, etc.)
F is for "qamats"

SPR or S"PER = "sefer" ספר (book, scroll)
" is for "tsere"

All of this and more is covered on the URL above.
