NEW NAME OF ZION

𐀏𐀁𐀃𐀉 𐀓𐀏𐀅𐀕𐀉 𐀁𐀄

גבדי רגוΧͺי בה

Aybdy Rayuthy Beh = My Servant, My Delight in.

Smooth english flow: My delight is in my servant.

  • Safaria.org transliterates גבדי רגוΧͺי בה as AbΔ›day RΔ›oothee Bahh in english but my rendering would be slightly different: Aybidy Rayuthy Beh
  • Aybdy (β€œAy” as in β€œIce”). The reason why it isn’t just an β€œah” sound because Aramaic/Hebrew letter א is the β€œah” sound. The letter Χ’ is the β€œAy” sound (β€œah-ee-s”).
  • bidy (β€œi” as in β€œinstall”) is entered between the two consonants due to the natural β€œih” sound that is audible when pronouncing two consonants together. Search: β€œepenthesis” for more info ℹ️ 
  • Rayuthy (β€œRah-ee-u-thee”) the β€œth” is not pronounced with the tongue in between the teeth, but with the tongue pressed against the roof of the mouth. The sound is a soft β€œt” and not a sibilant β€œt” as in the name β€œTom” or the word β€œtomorrow”.
  • Beh (β€œb-eh”) the rule in ancient Aramaic is that the final β€œh” is the β€œeh” sound.
