...Arabic. The second character looks like Hebrew to me.

It's clearly Hebrew. I can sound it out phonetically, but cannot comprehend it. Go Hebrew school, circa 1989!

It is absolutely cursive Hebrew. I was baffled by it many times while travelling in Israel.

Where's Issur when you actually need him?

Go Hebrew school circa any year! Or at least Hebrew school circa the mid-nineties. I can barely sound it out anymore.

The letters are Hebrew, written in script as opposed to block printing, complete with vocalization, i.e. the vowel points. It looks like it says, "bribua nechad". However, I haven't studied Hebrew in many years, so I have no idea what it says.

Sorry, that should be "nemad", not "nechad".

I can't seem to get it right! It should be "nechmad". There! Finally!

I'm pretty sure it says something about liking kinky sex in public places. That's only a guess, though.

nechmad means pleasant/lovely. have no idea what br'i bua means. perhaps something about covenant? that would be b'ri.

I think. My Hebrew has suffered significantly in recent years.

Who cares what it says. I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the six legged giant rat-dog animal and the naked dog-faced man with a tiny dick.

I know what I'm going to have nightmares about tonight.

Try Altavista for translation - do a google search for translation ... and type in the words - Hebrew to English.

#18: What, just because I can't read cursive Hebrew I've pissed away my heritage? That's really fucking insulting and completely untrue. I rep hard.

At least this puts to rest any Jewish cabal taking over Seattle conspiracy theories floating out there.

In checking out the Hebrew-English dictionary I just happened to have handy, I deciphered this to be something along the lines of "In the beautiful fourth generation" or something that totally makes no sense. I showed it to my Israeli friend, and she says it means "nice squared." Or, in other words, she translated it but she has no idea what the hell it means.

Posted by jew-ish.com | March 25, 2008 1:40 PM

It says "B'ribu'a nechmad" in cursive Hebrew. I think that "nice squared" is an excellent translation (squared, like in the mathematical sense of "squared".

Cool, nice squared!

Posted by Will in Seattle | March 25, 2008 2:17 PM

So I asked my Jewish friend and she said this...

"The last word "nechmad" means, like, nice or something. The other words are "bri bua" but I have no idea what that means. Hang on I'll look it up... So "bri'at" means creation, and "bua"... oh! I knew that, "bua" means bubble. Hmm, but it's not spelled that way. And I have no idea what "create the pleasant bubble" would mean... not that "bri" necessarily means create.. Yeah, I dunno."

Not exactly enlightening, but funny none the less.

Hey there, an actual Israeli here. It says "in a nice square" (the adjective comes after the subject).
