New Language: Hebrew-Feminine #117

Open NightScript370 opened 1 year ago

NightScript370 commented 1 year ago

In Biblical Hebrew literature, feminine numbers are more common. As an example, take a look at the Sefirat Haomer counting, which uses these numbers.

Pull Request #64 did this, but didn't provide Unit Testing & replaced Modern Hebrew, which may not be what people want.

Hi @NightScript370 , thanks for reporting.

To rephrase the issue, the feature is about adding the new language Biblical Hebrew. It has the code hbo in ISO 639-3. In general, supporting ancient/historic languages is not a priority. I think the focus must be on main languages (see list of ISO 639-1 codes). In this case, I suggest adding this as a parameter to the existing Hebrew he.

I don't know Hebrew. Could you please describe the rules and give some examples ?

While I do not know the rules too well (in middle of researching), here is a list of counting up until the number 49:

Everything is the same as the PR of old, IIRC
