Niqqud
As a stupid English-speaker, I'd appreciate having the Niqqud on the Hebrew name Gershayim. Thanks to anyone who can do this for me.

 * Thanks for the question.
 * There are two possible vocalizations for this word and both are somewhat unusual. גֵּרְשַׁיִם‎ appears in Even-Shoshan and in Bahat and Mishor and the tzere vowel is not quite regular. Gesenius-Kautzch-Cowley seem to prefer grashayim (גְּרָשַׁיִם‎). The latter is also used quite often in modern speech, though gershayim is more common. I'll try to ask the Academy of the Hebrew language for a clarification. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 14:09, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Quinqueliteral roots
The article currently names the supposed word “histankrenut” with the supposed root s—n—k—r—n. I don’t know if such an example contributes to the article, and it may be better to just remove it. However, if the example is mentioned – and in its current form, I’d like to see a reference to a source naming the root s—n—k—r—n; as far as I know Hebrew has no true quinqueliteral roots, and a more correct representation of the root of this word is s—nkr—n. 2A02:8109:9200:7F58:9CE3:55B9:EF31:20B2 (talk) 14:35, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
