Art/Literary - Other / pronunciation of Zehev
Hebrew term or phrase: Zehev
Can anyone tell me how to pronounce this name, please? Thanks.
Annette Fromel
ze-ev זאב
Explanation:
I'm assuming you are referring to the name Ze'ev, which BTW means wolf.
The ze sounds like the (only with a z) and the e in ev should sound the same as the e in ze.

I believe the h you have in the middle is wrong.

Both e's should sound like the e's in the word "verve"

agree  Alex Khanin: but why h is wrong? zeev would mean splendor (זיו)
2 hrs
  -> Thanks! The א in the name זאב, is pronounced like e and not like h (hard with no air). זיו is a completely different name and is pronounced Ziv, again without the h.
