How to Transliterate Hebrew Words

This is in regard to Translation:Hosea. Can you tell what's wrong with writing the Hebrew word תחלת as tĕchillah? Alephb (talk) 01:59, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

I forgot to remove the punctuation mark on techillah. Thanks. JohnThorne (talk) 14:10, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

No, that's not it. Are you able to read Hebrew at all? It's a bigger mistake than that. Alephb (talk) 02:15, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Yes, I can read Hebrew. Please correct any mistakes when you see it. That's the spirit of Wikipedia anyway. Peace. JohnThorne (talk) 02:19, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

If you can't see the problem yet, you don't read Hebrew.Alephb (talk) 01:10, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Corrected. Thanks. JohnThorne (talk) 22:36, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
