This gave me a "Safrut smile"... OK, I realise that this is not Ktav STaM, however it is interesting what happens when graphic/font Hebrew becomes too stylised. Case-in-point, a colleague and I were visiting the mayor's office in the Gaza Belt region of Shaar HaNegev (adjoining Sderot). He is new to reading Hebrew and pronounced the welcome sign as " brooning " or " broobing " (instead of the intended " brookhim ". I replied that he was more correct than the graphic designer, as the letter meant to be a " khaf " was closer to a halakhic "Nun" or "Bet", and had this been Ktav STaM, the letter would likely be considered pasul as a "Khaf".
I just Bar-Ilan'd "צף" "קלף" to appear within 20 words of each other in every sefer (including shu''t shevet halevi" and it didnt come up with anything. I also tried several other searches, but didn't succeed.

i guess that shows how otzar hachachma can be superior to bar ilan :-)
ReplyDeleteZvi, I think you didn't mean "floating" rather protruding, Ie the ink is boilet above the klaf.
ReplyDeleteThis is the Bney Yona quoted by Peretz above.
Readjust the hebrew words in search, instead of צף.
I remember the word צף or one of its variations like יצוף ,לצוף, etc.
