| Wow, I'm surprised so many people who can't read Hebrew tried this! I guess most people who can didn't bother, because it would've been boring. Yes, West Virginia is "Virginia the Western" in Hebrew, whereas North Carolina is "North-Carolina," South Carolina is "South-Carolina," and it's the same for the Dakotas. "Drom" is a prefix that means "south," and "tsfon" is a prefix that means "north," but no such prefix exists for "west," so it has to be "western," an adjective, following the name! |
