the quiet before the storm – how do you say “flotilla” in Hebrew? how do you say it in English?!
משט
I learned two words this past week in two languages.
The first is flotilla. It must come from Spanish or something.
The second is מַשָּׁט (mah-SHAHT). It comes from the root ש.ו.ט, which carries the core meaning of sailing or traveling by sea.
Watch this video of a news report before the encounter between the so-called humanitarians and Israel’s navy. Listen for the the word משט… and repeat it.
