how to say “flyover” or “aerial demonstration” in Hebrew
I just looked up the sister-entry to this one, turns out it’s been over a year! That took me by surprise…
I’m referring to my entry on the flotilla – מַשָּׁט (mah-SHAHT) that tried making its way to Gaza in June 2010.
Anyway, this entry refers to the group of activists trying to get into Gaza via an aerial demonstration – by plane. In Hebrew, this is called a מַטָּס (mah-TAHS).
The root is ט.ו.ס (t.w.s), one of the roots having to do with flying. You’ll find this root in other words such as מָטוֹס – airplane (mah-TOHS) and טִיסָה – flight (tee-SAH)

Today’s dose of Hebrew is sponsored by Yom Tov
I’ve seen his amazing art at Hechal Shlomo and even acquired a piece myself.
Check out Yom Tov’s virtual gallery,
and visit his Kohelet exhibition in Jerusalem.
It’s open throughout the summer.
