Re: Hebrew spelling for Anina
in reply to a message by Anina
I don't know hebrew specifically, but I am fluent in assyrian and partially fluent in arabic. sometimes feminine names end in a he/heh (I am not entirely positive of the hebrew equivalent, but I am sure you can figure it out) instead of alap/aleph. you might try:aleph noon yudh noon alephaleph noon yudh noon hehain noon yudh noon hehto my ear, I would think Anina is pronounced softer at the beginning. ain is more gutteral and harsh, which is possibly why your spelling did not return any results.good luck.:)
