L2/20-246 Teeth and Bellies: a Proposed Model for Encoding Book Pahlavi
L2/20-246 Teeth and bellies: a proposed model for encoding Book Pahlavi Roozbeh Pournader (WhatsApp) September 7, 2020 Background In Everson 2002, a proposal was made to encode a unified Avestan and Pahlavi script in the Unicode Standard. The proposal went through several iterations, eventually leading to a separate encoding of Avestan as proposed by Everson and Pournader 2007a, in which Pahlavi was considered non-unifiable with Avestan due to its cursive joining property. The non-cursive Inscriptional Pahlavi (Everson and Pournader 2007b) and the cursive Psalter Pahlavi (Everson and Pournader 2011) were later encoded too. But Book Pahlavi, despite several attempts (see the Book Pahlavi Topical Document list at https://unicode.org/L2/ topical/bookpahlavi/), remains unencoded. Everson 2002 is peculiar among earlier proposals by proposing six Pahlavi archigraphemes, including an ear, an elbow, and a belly. I remember from conversations with Michael Everson that he intended these to be used for cases when a scribe was just copying some text without understanding the underlying letters, considering the complexity of the script and the loss of some of its nuances to later scribes. They could also be used when modern scholars wanted to represent a manuscript as written, without needing to over-analyze potentially controversial readings. Meyers 2014 takes such a graphical model to an extreme, trying to encode pieces of the writing system, most of which have some correspondence to letters, but with occasional partial letters (e.g. PARTIAL SHIN and FINAL SADHE-PARTIAL PE). Unfortunately, their proposal rejects joining properties for Book Pahlavi and insists that “[t]he joining behaviour of the final stems of the characters in Book Pahlavi is more similar to cursive variants of Latin than to Arabic”.

Psalm 119 & the Hebrew Aleph
Psalm 119 & the Hebrew Aleph Bet - Part 7 The seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called "Zayin", (pronounced "ZAH-yeen”). It has the same sound as “z” says in “zebra”. In modern Hebrew, the Zayin can appear in the following three forms: Write the manual print version (or "block" version) of Zayin as follows: MANUAL PRINT VERSION Note that the first stroke slightly descends from the left to right. Writing the Letter: Zayin Practice making the Zayin here: Zayin, the seventh letter of the Hebrew alphabet, concludes the first series of letters, portraying the story of the Gospel. Considering this, let’s review briefly what we’ve found in the first letters: Aleph – represents the ONE, Almighty, invisible God, our FATHER, Who… Beit – “Housed” Himself in human flesh and Scripture, Tabernacling among us… Gimmel – Yah’s plea to mankind goes forth from beit, carried by the final Elijahs… Dalet – who “knock” on the heart-door of the lost, inviting them to sup with Yah… Hey – Those who open their doors (dalet) to the Truth, receive Yah’s Spirit (hey)… – Anyone who has been filled with the Spirit and imputed with Messiah’s Vav Righteousness, becomes a true man, re-connected to Heaven… Having received the Spiritual Gifts and Messages of these previous six letters, the new man is ready for effective SPIRITUAL WARFARE. Zayin means “weapon” and its form represents the SWORD of the SPIRIT. Zayin Study Page 1 Spiritual Meaning of the Zayin Zayin = 7 and is formed by crowning a vav. It represents a sword. The gematria of the word Zayin is 67, which is the same value for (binah), meaning “understanding”.

Quarterly Publication of The Jewish Genealogy Society of Greater Washington “Every man of the children of Israel shall encamp by his own standard with the ensign of his family” Numbers 2:2 Volume 29, Number 1 Winter 2009-2010 My Experience at the 29th IAJGS Conference Philadelphia, August 2009 By Bill Yoffee < [email protected] > My attendance at the 29 th IAJGS Conference in Philadelphia opened a whole new avenue of genealogical investigation of my family, as I had hoped it would. It also stimulated my curiosity about Jewish mysticism. My father’s mother’s family lived in South Philadelphia beginning some time in the 1890s, when they all moved from the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The household was headed by Abe SIMON who was married to my pater- nal grandmother’s older sister, Dora (née BERNSTEIN). Originally, it also consisted of my grandmother, Bessie BERNSTEIN; her younger sister, Celia; some of the SIMON children; and my great-grandparents, Samuel and Sarah BERNSTEIN. Except for an occasional effort in the past, I have neglected a thorough investigation of that side of the family. I intended to begin to correct this during my stay in Philadelphia. The comparison of the 1900, 1910, and 1920 Census records indicated that my great-grandfather, Samuel BERNSTEIN, died between 1900 and 1910, and that my great-grandmother, Sarah BERNSTEIN, who declared herself a widow in 1910, was not listed in 1920. My father who was named Samuel was born in August 1905. I assumed he was named after his de- ceased grandfather, according to Ashkenazi naming customs.

The Hebrew Language and Way of Thinking (PDF)
The Hebrew Language and Way of Thinking Dr. George W. Benthien January 2013 E-mail: [email protected] As you all know, the Bible was not originally written in English. The Old Testament was written several thousand years ago to a people (the Hebrews) whose language and culture were very different from our own. The New Testament was written in Greek, but most of its authors were raised as Hebrews. The Hebrew way of thinking about the world around them was very different from the way we think. If we want to understand the Biblical text as the original hearers understood it, then we need a better understanding of the Hebrew language and way of thinking. Development of the Hebrew Alphabet Below are the 22 letters of the Modern Hebrew alphabet (written from right to left). k y f j z w h d g B a kaph yod tet chet zayin vav hey dalet gimmel bet aleph t v r q x p u s n m l tav shin resh qof tsade pey ayin samech nun mem lamed However, this was not the alphabet in use in ancient times. The present day Samaritans (there are about 756 in the world today) use Torah scrolls that are written in a very different script. Recall that the Samaritans were the descendants of the Northern Tribes of Israel that were not sent into Assyrian captivity. The alphabet employed by the Samaritans (called Paleo or Old Hebrew) is shown below = kaph yod tet chet zayin vav hey dalet gimmel bet aleph O tav shin resh qof tsade pey ayin samech nun mem lamed Archeologists have found coins dating from before the Babylonian captivity that use this same script.

The Power of Zayin
Alphabet Soup The Power of Zayin Zayin is the 7th letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. Zayin means “Sword” , “Sharp Weapon” and “Crown”. The Apostle Paul uses the Zayin when referring to the “Armor of God”. He calls it “The Sword of the Spirit” in Ephesians 6:17. This comes from the Hebrew mind set that the Word of God is a weapon against the enemy. Jesus used this against the devil when He was tempted in the desert. (Matt. 4:1-11). You will notice that after He used the Word of God against the devil, the devil fled and the angles came and ministered to Him. That’s because the Word of God is a sword to use against the enemy. By the way, He did not speak to the devil in English; He spoke to him in Hebrew! We will see why as we continue this study. If you look at the Zayin, you will notice that it even look like a sword. But in has even more significance than that of a letter of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet. It’s a way of life! Remember, the letters of the Hebrew Aleph-Bet also has significance as to the way they are formed. The Zayin has a top that is a flat head. This symbolizes a “Foundation” at the top with a point coming down. This tells us that the Foundation to all of heaven is the Word of God and this has been transferred to the earth. In Psalm 119:89 the Bible tells us that, “Forever O Lord, Thy Word is settled in Heaven”.

Phonemic Conversion as the Ideal Romanization Scheme for Hebrew: Implications for Hebrew Cataloging Author Biography & Related Information Uzzi Ornan (born 1923) is a professor of Hebrew linguistics and natural language processing at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology, and a member of the Academy of the Hebrew Language. In 1944, Ornan was detained in a British detention camp in Eritrea, where he taught Hebrew grammar to his fellow detainees from Erets Israel. In 1947, still in the camp, he published his Grammar of Mouth and Ear. After the detainees were freed in 1948 the book was reprinted in abridged edition several times in Israel. In 2016, Ornan completed a thoroughly revised edition of the book, compatible with current progress of linguistics (Jerusalem: The eH brew University Magnes Press). Associated with the Canaanite movement, Ornan established the League against Religious Coercion (1950) and has been active in the separation of church and state movement in Israel ever since.
