    I have a client here in the library that would like to know the
    Hebrew words (and pronounciation) for the following English words:
    
    			eagle
    			moon
    			rainbow
    
    Can anyone help?
    
    Thankyou in advance.

    I thought that "yareakh" stood for crescent. If not is there a
    distinction and what are the two terms?

|     yareakh - Moon
    Sahar - Crescent.
    
    In certain periods of anchient hebrew they were the same.
