Hebrew is well adapted to dealing with words made mostly made from subtle variations of s, sh & t sounds... Which brings us full circle to shibboleth/שיבולת

- fortran77 7y agoIt's שבלת when referring to the biblical use. You got the modern spelling of the word for "oatmeal" from google translate. See https://www.sefaria.org/Judges.12.6?lang=bi https://www.sefaria.org/Judges.12.6?lang=bi for the source.
- hermanKM 7y agoBoth spellings are correct ( שיבולת and שבלת ). Netcan is using the standardized Rules for Spelling without vowel pointers (Niqqud) enacted by the Academy of the Hebrew Language, which is rejected by some Hebrew language purists. The rules: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ktiv_hasar_niqqud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ktiv_hasar_niqqud
