Why "hanNégev"?
Hi. I don't read Hebrew, so I don't know what you meant when you wrote that "dagesh" is all there is to know for haNegev actually transliterating to hanNegev. Are you sure? Never came across any other example. Sources? Happy to learn. Thanks, Arminden (talk) 20:06, 12 December 2023 (UTC)


 * I now saw this: Dagesh hazaq. According to it, the doubling of consonants applies only to ancient, not to modern Hebrew, and nobody except very peculiar readers pronounce accordingly even in liturgical Torah recitations.
 * A) I don't know if Wiki goes by default (i.e., if not explicitly written) according to ancient, as opposed to modern Hebrew. I really don't think so.
 * B) Even if it does, is "hanNégev" the way to spell it in a precise transliteration, which uses certain codes (see accented e)? Did you study that? (See Romanization of Hebrew).
 * Thanks. Arminden (talk) 20:19, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I was in the middle of replying when you made your second comment. In any event, yes, it is dagesh hazak. I know Modern Hebrew dispatches with some of the older pronunciation traditions and the sounds change accordingly, but with that being said, strictly speaking the transliteration is not actually changed. If the word was spelled הַנֶגֶב – then the translit. would be haNégev – but since Modern Hebrew nonetheless preserves the spelling הַנֶּגֶב (as it would any other w/ certain initial consonants with a prefix), and the page does not specifically earmark Modern Hebrew (just linking the page for Hebrew) I would say it still is transliterated -nn-. As for the accented 'é', scholarly transliterations take or leave showing the stress of particular syllables in the notation, so there's a discussion to be had there.

Your Kuntillet Ajrud edits
You replaced a sourced fact with misleading crap, knock it off. Read the 76 paper and Krause BEFORE you mess with stuff. Read them like you're interested in the subject. Temerarius (talk) 01:08, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
