Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to Rabbi Akiva—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

 * The edit was based upon accurate spelling at the period of the character. In the period of the Mishna (when Akiba lived) there was no "v" sound in Hebrew . The letter ב was only pronounced as it was written - ie as a "b". The vowel signs were only introduced a thousand years later in the Middle Ages and the v sound is a result of Germanic influences on the spoken language in Ashkenaz. A correct transliteration is thus "Akiba" not "Akiva". AmramMitsna (talk) 08:33, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
