[...] the allocation of letters would vary depending on whether Biblical or Modern Hebrew is used, according to the linguist. The Dalfens opted to allocate letters corresponding to the spoken language. The amazing Hebrew word game that can be played anywhere. Fast moving, addictive, fun and educational.
