In the Torah, the inverted nuns frame the text Whenever the ark set out, Moses said, "Rise up, Lord! May your enemies be scattered; may your foes flee before you." Whenever it came to rest, he said, "Return, Lord, to the countless thousands of Israel."
-Numbers 10:35-36. The inverted nun is not part of any word, and never pronounced, thus it is classed as punctuation and not a letter. It is a glyph U+05C6 named Hebrew Punctuation Nun Hafukha.

Shit! I didn't do very well in Hebrew but I enjoyed it. Thanks for inspiring me to work at it again.

Peace and YHWY shalom,

well I am not sure what an inverted nun is really
but I fell short of becoming a nun...obviously...
and probably a good thing
since they would call me the perverted nun
& in no way do I find sexual health perverted
or would that be the wealth of sexuality...hummm

Oh Sally...fly me
