Heil?!? A Note on Hebrew
That choice of transliteration is not only astonishingly insensitive, it's wrong. The "cheht" character in question is never spoken with a soft H, but like a Scottish "Ch". Likewise, the follow on "yud" is closest to Y, and the "Lamed" is an "L" sound. Vowels must be added, hence "Chayel", pronounced "Chhhehyl".

Likewise, if you see the "Cheht + Yud" letters on a necklace around someone's neck, as you often will, it's not pronounced "Hi", or even "Chai". It's a "Chhayi" ("Life") symbol. Joe Katzman (talk) 19:25, 19 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The transliteration is consistent with WP:HE. Moreover, Ch for Het is a transliteration that originated from German, and is awkward and incorrect in English. —Ynhockey (Talk) 09:17, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
