Just because I was bored...Qibollach

Since LJ only affords you 150 interests and I've already looked up 24 spellings for caballah... I finally gave up and deleted them all.

I list קבּלה as an interest

forgive me for sharpshooting, but perhaps you might find others with that interest if you put it Hebrew-wise [right to left] ? Just a thought :-)

Not sure what OS you are on...

[lordandrei]

but on mine it is right to left

WinXPPro. Agh, found it -- Opera 7.2 is showing left to right. Netscape 7.2 is showing right to left. Weird... Of course Netscape 4.X doesn't even like the CSS for the theme, big surprise.

and tonight, I even know how to work a computer !!

that's what I was going to say! hhahahah kielbasa!

[exnomine]

I recommend regular expressions: [QCK]ab[b]?al[l]?a[h]?

[cellio]

I haven't checked a dictionary, but I would expect there to be a hei at the end of that word.

[mrlogic]

But is the 'h' in some transliterations actually pronounced, or is it just part of the 'a' vowel?

The final heh

[lordandrei]

Actually, the final hey tends to be an aspiration (breath) at the end of a word. Since Aleph is a silent consonent, it is usually placed to hold a vowel.

I couldn't find any spellings of the work online. but went with QBL since at core hebrew is a 'tri-consonental' language.

[cellio]

It's not pronounced (at least to the ear of a non-native speaker), but Hebrew isn't spelled entirely phonetically. Off hand, I think the only consonants I've seen take vowels in the final position are hei, chaf, and chet. A word ending with lamed and then a vowel doesn't fit that pattern.

Of course, I'm far from a scholar, and I am not currently co-located with a dictionary. So I could easily be wrong.

heh heh heh

[lordandrei]
