connotations in Hebrew. There is no actual English equivalent outside profanity and
slang.

, no direct meaning. This is a Noteriqon or mystical abbreviation of:






-





, Ateh Gibor
Le-Olahm Adonai.
That in turn means: "Thou art mighty
forever O'Lord". Pronunciation is also cryptic, but using the
initials of the
component words and their attendant vowel points,
we get:
A-gi-le-A --- a as in bard. i as in bit. e as the first one
in believe. A as in bard. The last syllable should take the accent, but even that is undecided.

, meaning "GOD HEALS"

Accent the last two syllables.
-oOo-
By now, the reader has had a chance to try these
pronunciations, and is just possibly a bit discouraged.
Actually, once a start has been made at book-taught
pronunciation of Hebrew, the worst is over. Now, but not when
you made your first attempt, there are a few simple tricks to
getting the sounds put together right. First, do each
syllable separately, as though they were distinct words.
Second, try the accent by making the unaccented syllable words
more quiet and the accent syllable word louder. Finally,
build fluency by saying the entire word as a smooth sound
instead of distinct syllables. Pick an English word to get
the feel of this final stage. Take an English Dictionary, and
practice putting words you already use together by the
pronunciation guide just after the first listing of the word
in the dictionary. You will find yourself making the same
natural errors in accent and fluency with these common words
that you are making with Hebrew. The "feel" of the clumsiness
of the pronunciation is the same for English as it is for
Hebrew. Likewise the "feel" of a well pronounced word is the
same.
Example: Take the English word: "Success". A good
dictionary will write: "(s*k-ses')"..."*" will be an
upsidedown "e". The front of the dictionary will explain the
sounds made by things like the upsidedown "e" symbol and the
other sound symbols. The apostrophe (') symbol comes just
after the accented syllable (I have used an underline here instead). Pretend that you have never used the word before
and try it. If it comes out: Suck-ces, you will be able to
hear yourself enough to see how to make the word sound more
correct. Work on the Hebrew until it "hears" like English to
you.
There is one more trick to this that is a bit harder, but
which works for some people. If you are not sure of several
minor differences in pronunciation for a given word, simply
try to say them all at the same instant. The resulting stress
produces an odd twisting in the mouth and can more closely
duplicate natural speech sounds than any purely academic
methods can possibly manage.
---- O'h yes, CROWLEY is pronounced Crow-lee, not Craughli!
