- That's supposed to be Hebrew? The leftmost symbol looks like a fancily calligraphed print {tzadi} /ts/ rotated counterclockwise 90 degrees. The middle one looks sort of like a similarly rotated *handwritten* {mem} /m/, and the rightmost one looks like a print {ttet} /t'/ rotated a little bit more than the others. So i guess it could say _tzemet_, sort of, if the arm was horizontal, but i don't know if that's even a word... (t's not in my dictionary). and i have no idea what the dots are supposed to be for, besides decoration. -Stephen (Steg) "mew. mew hast. mew hast meep!"
