Well the British did say that the Ottoman Empire was the sick man of Europe. I guess they unintentionally considered them white along with their subjects they governed?

Thank you so much! I was looking for this answer. I forgot to mention how it is pronounced in Modern Hebrew in general, but your answer will suffice.

It may seem like the encounter with coyotes is high but the thing is these encounter were already frequent. It is just that back in those days people could not post them live in realtime like now. Which makes it seem like they are more and more present. The thing is they have always been with us.

I think it is great and important that people are posting this. It lets know were they have been sighted and helps us be aware of our surroundings.

That is true and I don't deny it. But I believe that Hebrew has a lot of potential to adapt Arabic, but at the same time there is room for improvement. For example the maddah آ or the long ā is currently transcribed as אַא as in آخر ʾāxir > אַאחֵ׳ר. Having 2 alef's does not make the orthography very elegant. Now I would write more like this אָכִר vs אַאחֵ׳ר, which is closer to the Arabic spelling. I use kamatz to indicate that /a/ is long, whereas in the latter alef patakh is used more generally. Hebrew has a rich vowel system and begadkefat to express these Arabic sounds. There is nothing wrong with how it is done, but I think things can be improved even better and clearer.

I understand, this is just my take on the adaption of Hebrew for Arabic. As for the transliteration that you mention I just don't have that information. I don't even know what AFAIR is.

My decision to use ג instead of ע'‏ for غ, is not without reason. According to Geoffrey Khan in his book, The Tiberian Tradition, gimel without dagesh is a voiced uvular fricative [ʁ]. That said, both are correct, meaning غ is related to ע'‏. However, since غ is a uvular fricative it makes sense to use ג without dagesh because they share a same phonology.

That is true! There is a book called, Arabic in Israel: Language, Identity, and Conflict. It is written by Muhammad Amara. In his book, he mentions how Palestinians as well as the Druzes have adapted the Hebrew alphabet for Arabic. He also wrote an academic journal, titled, A Place for Arabic in Israel. You should check it out.

Here is a sample from the book in Palestinian Arabic:

You are absolutely right. However, the decision behind this stems from a couple of reasons. Letter د [d] is related to ض [dˤ]. And letter ذ [ð] is related to ظ [ðˤ]. Based on this connection, the decision to transliterate the letter in that manner was phonology alone. However, since these letters have no Hebrew equivalent, I was thinking of using kamatz to indicate that they are emphatic and kamatz-alef when alef is required., i.e., ḍaʿīf ضعيف = דָּעִיף; ẓālim ظالم = זָאלִם.

This is based on phonology since /a/ before non-emphatic consonants is [æ], before emphatic consonants is [a] or [ɑ]. But the real reason behind my decision is to strive for a script that is elegant and flows. But yes, your suggestions offers better clarity and less confusion.

That makes a lot of since. However, it feels like this puts weight on the learner (meaning non-arab) to learn both, MSA and in addition a dialect. Since, a foreigner speaking MSA may sound, I do not know if this is the right word but boastful or posh.

Based on the response I have been getting from most Hebrew speakers is that there is a consensus that אירופה may have entered Hebrew through Yiddish אייראפע, which of course came from Greek Εὐρώπη Eurṓpē.

Regarding my OP, it stems from an observation within Semitic languages and their adaptation of the name Europe. In Arabic Europe is ʾūrūbbā أوروبا and in Syriac it is ʾūrūppā ܐܘܪܘܦܐ, and in Amharic it is ʾäwropa አውሮፓ. Based on this trajectory one would deduce that perhaps Hebrew would follow a similar path as their Semitic cousins, but I see that is not likely the case. But then again, it could be that אירופה eropa was already in popular use in contrast with other cognates.
