Kol Nidre or Kol Nidrei?[edit]

I have always seen Kol Nidrei. Does someone know about it???

I've also seen Kol Nidrei, with an "i". --91.153.3.26 19:47, 24 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Written language has to follow the real language spoken on the streets - and that shifts. For example, the standard English of Shakespeare's time was what we would now call a Staffordshire accent: similarly, the young Princess Elizabeth, who as Queen Elizabeth I would make his plays fashionable, kept her mind off the thoughts of the peril she was in while imprisoned by her sister Queen Mary, by focusing on why Latin love poetry of the Classic Period didn't rhyme, and realised the language had drifted, what passed as Latin was actually Italian. So she worked through the corpus and came up with a different pronunciation, which persists to this day. I am, in passing, a post-doctoral Latinist at The Warburg Institute.

The same holds true here: Kol Nidrei is what Bruch wrote on the top of his manuscript, so Kol Nidrei it is - it's as good as the other transliteration, Kol Nidré, the differences in the phonemes are smaller than the regional differences to be found. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.250.132.218 (talk) 10:27, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"also known as All Vows, the meaning of the phrase in Aramaic" - Kol Nidrei is very much in Hebrew, not Aramaic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.126.104.255 (talk) 14:15, 31 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
