[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 502826, member: 301"]Sorry , but no. the leaves and flowers are leaves and flowers....what you've posted are the dots & dashes. When you learn to read hebrew , the dots and dashes are present , showing the difference between ..eg. an A sounding like AY...or Ah. like ... mad vs made. Once you learn that.....they take away the dots & dashes.....those buggers...and expect you to now know the differences by recognizing the words themselves.... If the letters on the pot had dots & dashes.....I could still sound them out ...even not knowing the words themselves...... Also there are some letters only used for the end of a word......called ' sofeet'...but even knowing that , isn't helping me to translate. I wasn't at the top of my class....reading hebrew.....once they took the dots & dashes away !! :sorry::sorry:[/QUOTE]
