"to unlock" (a name for a girl) "פתחי" Explanation: Congratulations for the birth. I've strained my head to find anything appropriate. You cant avoid using "liphtoach" (open, unlock) or "Leshachrer" (liberate) or the roots of P.T.H or Sh.H.R.R. I think "פִּתְחִי" ("PITHI") altough original, has right sound and meaning and is feminine enough. "פתחיה", with a seeminglty more feminine suffix, is a biblical MALE name and it's pronounced "Ptachya" BTW - there is a beautiful and very well-known poem by the great poet Rachel, about how a person can be "a locked-up garden". Let the girl have this too. Here it is in Hebrew (can you read Hebrew?) גַּן נָעוּל / רחל (לזר) מִי אַתָּה? מַדּוּעַ יָד מוּשֶׁטֶת לֹא פּוֹגֶשֶׁת יַד אָחוֹת? וְעֵינַיִם אַךְ תַּמְתֵּנָּה רֶגַע וְהִנֵה שָׁפְלוּ כְּבָר נְבוֹכוֹת. גַּן נָעוּל. לֹא שְׁבִיל אֵלָיו, לֹא דֶרֶךְ. גַּן נָעוּל – אָדָם. הַאֵלֵךְ לִי? אוֹ אַכֶּה בַּסֶּלַע עַד זוֹב דָּם? אדר, תרפ"ח It is composed to a song and beautifully sung too... www.mp3music.co.il/Lyrics/3985.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2007-09-07 06:37:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry - sung beatifully under this link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUCLRdr9nV8 -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 hrs (2007-09-07 06:44:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another lovely unplugged cover version. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4Pt1AFeCsk&mode=related&search |
