Judaean numismatic words for new collectors
« on: June 02, 2005, 12:27:23 am »
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.

Hebrew is read from right to left and the vowels are not written.

Here are some 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?
