Hebrew Nuggets is an article series that introduces beginners to Hebrew letters, Hebrew vocabulary and spiritual insights from the Hebrew tradition.
The word אָדוֹן (’a·DON, “lord,” “master”) is an important word in Hebrew. It is a title that is used not only for human masters, but also as a title for God. By now, all the letters in the word אָדוֹן are familiar to readers of “Hebrew Nuggets” except for the last letter, ן, which is called a “final” nun. We already learned the usual form of nun (נ) in Lesson 13, but one thing we did not mention there is that nun is one of five Hebrew letters that take a different form when they appear at the end of a word. In previous lessons we encountered two such letters: we learned the final mem (ם) in Lesson 15, and the final kaf (ך) in Lesson 27.
