Hi!

when I first got into collecting Judaean coins, I really struggled with the ancient script on many of the coins.  I still have trouble, but I am getting the hang of it.

But what I was thinking, was that we could set up a list of words that new collectors might encounter with the Judaean, the transliteration, and the translation.  I think this would be really helpful.

also: one should remember that vowels are not written.

here are a few of the leaders' names:

 Judean_nun_3 Judean_nun_3 Judean_het_1 Judean_hey_3 Aramaic_yod

Yehohanan
John Hyrcanus I

 Judean_nun_3 Judean_taw_2 Judean_nun_3 Judean_hey_3 Aramaic_yod

Yehonatan
Alexander Jannaeus

 Judean_nun_3 Judean_taw_2 Judean_nun_3 Aramaic_yod

Yonatan
John Hyrcanus II

 Judean_hey_3 Judean_daleth_2 Judean_waw_1 Judean_hey_3 Aramaic_yod

Yehudah
Aristobulus I

 Judean_hey_1 Aramaic_yod Judean_taw_2 Judean_taw_2 Judean_mah_3

Mattatayah
Mattathias Antigonus

of course, there can always be variations on the styles of the letters.

anyone have other words?
