Zion/Zayin. Proper pronunciation makes all the difference. ha ha
===================================
I have tattoos, and yeah I suspect the Rabbi would have a long talk with his daughter if she were to date me.
I love Torah and Halacha. But it's my choices, my mistakes, and I make my own path in life. I accept the consequences.
Am Yisrael Chai.

Speaking of Hebrew, I am a huge fan of Old Hebrew/paleo Hebrew script (early Phoenecian script). I can actually read it far better than "modern" Hebrew script (which to this day for some reason I STILL can't seem to get in my head!!!). http://www.ancientscripts.com/old_hebrew.html
During the exile to Babylon (6th century BCE), the Hebrews started to use the Aramaic language and script, using Old Hebrew mostly in the religious writing. In later periods, Old Hebrew was sometimes inscribed on coins as a tool for Hebrew nationalism. The Old Hebrew alphabet ceased to be used at all by the 1st century CE.
This is the script that the Hebrew warriors during the Hasmonean revolt, first Jewish revolt and during Bar Kochba's revolt used on coins and such. Whenever Israel was free from Roman or Seleucid rule, this is the script the rebels chose to represent a true Jewish script. I always found that interesting.
