Article name[edit]

The name of the settlement is Giv'ot Olam, not "Gva'ot Olam". In English, the correct construct state of the word "hill" is Giv'ot, thus "Gva'ot Olam" would mean "hills eternity", not "hills of eternity".--128.139.104.49 (talk) 07:42, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But Hills Eternity is improper English, while Hills of Eternity makes a lot more sense and is quite poetic (even for the name of a settlement). Astronaut (talk) 16:41, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
You are missing my point. Gva'ot Olam is not proper Hebrew (naturally making its English equivalent "Hills Eternity" senseless). The correct Hebrew name would be Giv'ot Olam -- the poetic Hills of Eternity. The name of the article should be changed.--128.139.104.49 (talk) 23:34, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
