In the absence of objection, will rename to "Terumah". I believe Artscroll's editorial decision in their English translations of the Hebrew Bible and Talmud not to translate technical Hebrew terms for sacrifices and the like is sound. Nobody uses and few understand the the traditional King James English translations of these terms. There is no contemporary constituency for them. But there is a contemporary constitutuency for the Hebrew terms. So if one is going to have to learn a bunch of essentially foreign terminology one may as well just transliterate the Hebrew terms directly. Moreover, I suspect that popularization of Talmud study in English through translations like the Schottenstein have made these terms more common in English use. Any objections? --Shirahadasha 22:59, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
