Talk:Ktav Stam

This page was clearly written by an English speaking Orthodox Jew who is not fluent in Hebrew. The page should really be cleaned up by someone with a more objective POV, as well as knowledge in the history of the topic, not just the religious aspects. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.172.103.78 (talk) 17:52, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Rename entry
IMO, this entry is misnamed. It is almost entirely about the process and details of HOW STAM is written. But the entry is named for the STAM lettering. This is obvious in that it links to the Hebrew entry, he:כתיבת ספרי תורה, תפילין ומזוזות, titled "Writing Torah Scrolls, Teffilin & Mezuzas", and not the entry for the STAM lettering (he:אותיות סת"ם).

So I suggest:
 * We rename this entry to "Ktivat Stam", and perhaps also add a redirect from "Writing Stam".
 * Add a redirect page from the now freed-up Ktav Stam ==> Ashuri alphabet, which is about the lettering.

If no-one objects in the next 2-3 weeks I will make these changes. Shmuel A. Kam (talk) 18:14, 7 July 2015 (UTC)

alter rebbe's ktav
This article does not make mention of another variant of ktav; namely K'tav Admo"r HaZaken (Alter Rebbe's K'tav), used by Chabad. It is similar to K'tav HaAri, with some variation, and has similarities to the sefardic k'tav as well. Created by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, first Rebbe of CHabad Lubavitch

feather and ink
In the context of penmanship, a feather used as a writing implement is in English called a quill; even though the word pen is itself derived from the Italian word penna, meaning feather. Nuttyskin (talk) 16:39, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
