<< review queue entry 66995 - submitted by 'format_avenger' >> This edit attempts to resolve two issues with this definition: 1) Provides a better definition 2) Replace Romanized Arabic, "Ḥawwāh' with transliterated Modern Hebrew. ------------------------- Editor: Romanized Arabic? According to Wikipedia, Ḥawwāh is the transcription in the Tiberian system, which was "devised for Tiberian *Hebrew*". "Ḥawwāh" was chosen to represent the Hebrew word partly because that spelling is suggestive of how close the Cantonese might be to the Hebrew. "Chava" is less suggestive of that closeness. |
