Actually, that's שֶׁבַע--we're talking about שְׁוָא, which is a niqqud vowel.JennyB wrote:Sheva is pronounced Shay-va and means seven. It is not pronounced Sheeva and mean a diety. GDH!!!!

Re: How do you pronounce this word?
I meant literally sheva as in Roman letters, not the Hebrew ones. We were discussing the origin of "schwa" in שְׁוָא which ends up getting Romanized "sheva" or "shewa" in etymological dictionaries. I'm saying Hoy is even more off-base as the first vowel in sheva (meaning the niqqud) is silent.JennyB wrote:I don't read print Hebrew well...I'm much better with script.eumaas wrote:Look up--we were spelling it sheva.JennyB wrote:Yeah, but Hoy was talking about Sheva and not Shwa.eumaas wrote:Actually, that's שֶׁבַע--we're talking about שְׁוָא, which is a niqqud vowel.JennyB wrote:Sheva is pronounced Shay-va and means seven.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
