[edit] Name

I believe her name is Tzufit, not Tzofit. Tzufit is Hebrew for honeyeater and a common Israeli name. If there's no objection, I will move the article. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 16:58, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I think you're right. Go ahead -- Nudve (talk) 17:06, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Tzufit is indeed a honeyeater, but in the list of female names in the Even Shoshan Dictionary there's only Tzofit. I also believe that it's pronounced this way on the Israeli radio and TV. I don't have a better explanation for that, but the dictionary should be convincing enough. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 21:47, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

It does appear to say this Even Shoshan. I therefore withdraw my request. However, the spelling Tzufit should still be mentioned somewhere in the lead. -- Ynhockey ^(Talk) 21:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I vaguely recall an interview in which she said it's Tzufit. This is also how it's spelled in the IMDB (with Tzofit as an alternate). On the other hand, the British sources in the article spell Tzofit, so I guess It'll do. -- Nudve (talk) 04:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

IMDB and a discussion on the Hebrew talk page convinced me that it's Tzufit.

This blog discusses it. Blogspot blogs are usually a bad source, but this one is a pretty well-known blog about the Hebrew language. Correct me if i'm wrong. --Amir E. Aharoni (talk) 13:00, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
