	OT: I will forever associate "nebachanezar" as the name of one of the ships in The Matrix. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But it's spelled wrong. The ship in the Matrix is spelled correctly, Nebuchadnezzar. I assume the TNG reference is the reason it's misspelled? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The correct spelling/transliteration of the name is actually a pretty murky issue. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

When is it not? *wry* But the King James version is traditional, which is not to say that it is necessarily accurate in a linguistic sense.

I googled it, however, and I cannot find this particular permutation of it anywhere other than in this person's profile (I assume it is the same person) in various places. Personally, I have never seen it before, though I'm aware of several other variations; I can't really see how this one would be in any way more accurate than the traditional form, given the likely original pronunciation. In fact, it's a good bit less.

....god I sound pretentious when I put my linguist hat on. Sorry.
