Janet Magiera's "Messianic" and "Christian" Versions
#10
The Texas RAT Wrote:Also for the Old English spelling of The Anointed One's Name they had an older form of the letter s that was taller and slenderer (elongated so to speak) which was to denote the sh sound (see Concise
Oxford English Dictionary at the above mentioned webpage under Pronunciation). So the Old English spelling, other than the dastardly Greek sigma attached, would have been spot on to the Aramaic rendering of The Anointed One's Hebrew Name, but still short of the Hebrew pronunciation.

Shlama Will,

The long "s" is no different phonetically from the regular "s". See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_s. The letter "esh", a very similar-looking letter was only introduced in 1847 to represent the "sh" sound, which was later adopted into the International Phonetic Alphabet. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esh_%28letter%29. Therefore, the English "Jesus" results from a transliteration from the Greek, where there is no s/sh distinction.
