"Satanism" is 98% pop culture. Even if this might have been said at some point by somebody doesn't make it "real" in any meaningful sense. If you have a good reference, fair enough, but such things are made up on the go all the time. --[[User:Dbachmann|dab]] <small>[[User_talk:Dbachmann|(𒁳)]]</small> 10:11, 4 June 2010 (UTC) |

I think there is a problem with the display of the Sin vs Shin dot. On my screen they both appear to be on the left side of the ש. [[User:AJseagull1|AJseagull1]] ([[User talk:AJseagull1|talk]]) 07:04, 12 January 2011 (UTC) |

Colless citation
A citation is needed to Colless's work for verification. Michael Sheflin (talk) 21:12, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
- To Albright as well. Michael Sheflin (talk) 21:16, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
Pronunciation...
... because it's so clear what š means. Not. Can we have some IPA symbols/links? I refer you to http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=1686672

- Actually, for Semitic transcription, I would argue that S1, S2, and S3 (and S.) are more useful than IPA. In large part this is because it makes the relationship between S^ in Ugaritic (for instance) and S in Arabic more obvious in that both (this is a controversial example, I know) are inextricably linked in the word "soul" (NFS^ and NFS respectively) but that the former is S2 and the latter is S1. Likewise, some of the information on this page is inimical to the truth. Both S and S^ (sin and shin/S1 and S2) are orthographically separate but also highly unstable (as in that previous example). Therefore, at a certain point of convergence, the word for Moses in Arabic and Hebrew was pronounced the same (Musha) because the Arabic sin was pronounced as S^ until a fairly late point. This information comes from a conglomeration of sources, most prominently Woodward's (ed.) book (2008). I've given up on Wiki. Nevertheless, I find it repeatedly amusing to point out how poorly these articles are written. Cheers! Michael Sheflin (talk) 06:40, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
- Also, I'd like to repeat my objection of how offensive it is that the "Semitic" alphabet is a Judaism-WikiProject (whose modern successors survive only as the multitude of languages in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and to a certain extent Sudan and Chad; Arabic, Hebrew, and Assyrian (I am not intentionally omitting anything, there are probably others I am forgetting)). I find it as offensive as if Beowulf or the Latin alphabet were WikiProject-Christianity; although actually Beowulf has greater relevance than these alphabets (to Judaism). Awful organization.

lucifer
The shin is also apparently used by satanists to symbolize their god lucifer. Can someone confirm this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.67.96.43 (talk) 07:19, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
