Kylie Jenner gave her son a ‘Hebrew name.’ But it’s gibberish

[Phinneous]

I know Ariel is not the same word in Ps22.
(C’ARI) Just poking fun.
There is no room whatsoever to assume the last letter (yud) is a vov, and able to be vowelized with an “oo” sound....rendering the verse in outrageously twisted Hebrew as “they dug” at the very best, but never “they pierced.”
Ok, not poking fun.
But celebrities are stupid. Hakol modim. (Everyone agrees.)

--- "But celebrities are stupid."

That stupidity trotted out "Aire" as if Hebrew amazes me a day later. Our society in all its facets is coming undone courtesy of stupidity, celebrity and "academia" which produces nothing but publicity for itself and out-stretched hands to grift, rather than "know before whom you stand."

But to turn this back to politics, "stupidity, celebrity and 'academia' captures modern Democrat politics like Solyndra-is-the-future Obama and the current Idiot-in-Chief.

Best wishes.

Transliteration of Hebrew to English can be difficult. The vowels and consonants don’t quite match in many cases.

See, for example, the multiple spellings of “Chanukah”.

“Ari” is the typical American English spelling, but “Arie” also is somewhat common as are “aryeh” and a dozen more. The pronunciation is the key.

“His legal name is Wolf Webster so I’m going to do Aire Webster,”

What does that even mean? His name is this, so I'll just call him something else?
