Shamash
I am not sure whether it is necessary to include the mention of the Hebrew words which merely sound like "Shamash" since they are clearly from a different linguistic source and are simply homonyms.

The word "shamash" in the context of the Menorah should remain because it is related to the light of the sun.

 * I think you wanted to put that on Talk:Shamash? There is some discussion over how much detail to include on this subject; it seems a bit disjointed to have one article discussing so many different uses of the word -- do you think we need a new article, or should this go on the Hebrew wiktionary?
 * In any case, I stopped by to show you how to put hieroglyphs into articles. You can see the full syntax on the Help:WikiHiero syntax page (NB: takes ages to load, many images!).  Below I have shown T18 as an example; all you need to do for single glyphs is to put the Gardiner number in "hiero" tags like this:  .  You can see the other parts of the syntax (multiple characters, superposition, juxtaposition, etc) on the Help page linked just there.
 * Hope that helps!
