[quote=Anonymous]As a Jew I’ve never understood this G-d thing. Why don’t we just just write “God”? Some have told me that it’s because Hebrew has no vowels. Even if this were true, so what? God is English, not Hebrew. Secondly, Hebrew has vowels. The Alef and the Eyin are vowels. Before Ezra the Scribe recreated the Hebrew alphabet to look like Aramaic, the Hebrew alphabet looked like other Mediterranean alphabets. “Alpha Bet Gimmel Dalet” is Alpha Beta Gamma Delta.” It’s merely that as the centuries passed, how words were pronounced changed. Therefore, how an Alef or Eyin was pronounced in one word became different then how they were pronounced in other words. Therefore, it became more convenient to teach that the Alef and Eyin were “silent letters.” But that was not originally the case. [/quote]
