[edit] Some details

Regarding some of the details in the entry, here are some sources confirming my edits. They are in Hebrew and I don't think they are particularly controversial points, so I'll refrain from inserting them inline, though others can do so if they are so inclined:

• Egged's depot at Malha
• I don't know that there is an official transliteration for קניון, but http://www.kenyonim.com/mall.asp?mid=6 prefers the previous; perhaps raise this on Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Hebrew). Cheers, Tewfik^Talk 05:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

The term Kanyon is a coinage from the root Kana. It is not Kenyon, and the spelling that some Hebrew-speaking Israeli chooses for a website is not proof of anything. Altogether there is no "official" transliteration policy in existence (look at the street signs in Israel) but as a translator who works for an English language newspaper in Israel, as well as someone who lives nearby and shops there, I know it is pronounced Kanyon. Of course this is hardly a life-or-death matter, but neither is most of the nitpicking on Wikipedia...As for the Egged station at Malcha, this plan has been around for years, but I see no facts on the ground. If it does happen, it's great, but the way you worded it makes it sound as if there is already such a system in operation. All the best, Gila--Gilabrand 05:57, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
