disagree  Eynati: ha-kodesh is not 'holy' but 'the holiness'. Ru'akh = spirit [of]. Your ignorance and rudenss below can't change those facts.

ru'akh ha-kodesh


Explanation:
The Hebrew letter 'xet' should never be spelled 'ch' in English (cf. the pronunciation 'Charlies'), but kh.

ru'akh = spirit [of]
ha-kodesh = the holiness

disagree  Rutie Eckdish: Polemics.
3 hrs
  -> No idea what you are babbling about; can you do something useful and tell us where I am linguistically wrong?
disagree  Will Matter: I'm not misusing anything. Your pedantic and unnecessary quibbling over transliteration when a perfectly satisfactory answer had ALREADY been posted (along with your rude and unacceptable behavior) fully qualifies you for a FULL "disagree".
1 day 7 hrs
  -> You most certainly are abusing the Disagree button. My answer is 100% correct, & correcting a transliteration is perfectly acceptable.. Claiming that Ha-kodesh=holy is 100% wrong. The comment 'Polemics' is rude - you and SoGifted are the rude ones.
