In classical Hebrew, the hiphil or hitpael of ידה means to give thanks, but in the sense of worship/praise.<br />So, wrong binyan, but not entirely the wrong word.<br />The basic 3ms form should be: התודהWickiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08859408012628808650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-51454407843998158.post-15867401432502249782010-09-20T23:37:20.764+02:002010-09-20T23:37:20.764+02:00I haven't shown the correction because the mea...I haven't shown the correction because the meaning is completely bogus.

But you didn't show the correction for this one, just that the dalet isn't the same as the resh.

Try it with any of the Guttmann fonts, and compare to Microsoft's standard fonts.<br /><br />Most Hebrew speakers wouldn't mind, but those who read plenty of printed text with Nikud (e.g. poetry books, modern bible etc.) would notice it immediately.<br /><br />By the way, both letters should have a Qamatz.

The tattoo needs only a 'Bet' to be turned into 'Birah' (beer).

It is ok, i met someone who had 'supermarket' tattooed on their leg in Chinese. They thought it said 'freedom'.
