Look at this superb piece of art. A truly spiritual scribble, "Son of God". Or it would have been, had the author known their Hebrew letters.
As it goes, a tiny bit or the first letter was omitted, turning the BET into a KAF and consequently the word "Son" into "Yes". "Yes God", a true devotee.
Very sad, but not the end of story. The word God is also messed up. The vowel formation under the ALEF (4 dots, like a gaming cube) does not exist in the Hebrew language. The author of this tattoo apparently invented a new Hebrew vowel, how is that for true divine inspiration?

Easy fix, though. Extend the כ base to get ב, then ad another "dot" under the א to get hataf seggol.
ReplyDeleteI read it as נך so I guess that would read as crippled god, which I'm pretty sure isn't what they were going for. If you say they screwed up the typography you could read it as "cripple not the sea", but then what would that mean?
