A question for hebrew speakers

[pauamma]

If you go to http://www.runics.net/ and page down to the "faith & belief" section at the bottom, you will see a T-shirt with the phrase "Please stop wishing me a merry Christmas" in what I assume are Hebrew or pseudo-Hebrew characters that "just happen" to be readable as Latin characters

That was fast! Thanks.

Looking at the T-shirt picture and your comment (is that a complete alphabet?), it looks like the only one that's neither a character nor a mirrored chararacter is the one used for A.

Though it might be part of an alef.

either a part of an aleph or a weirdly shaped Ayin...

Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah, silly indeed. (and would be, even if they were all genuine.)

[ephraim_oakes]

so, in short, they are all Hebraic characters (which incidentally are not used just for Hebrew, but also Ladino, Yiddish, Aramaic, and other Jewish languages), except for the "A", but some are backwards and upside down. So, they don't make pronouncable words.

*nod* thanks.

Actually all except the 'A' and the 'H'.
