Pronunciation?[edit]

How do we pronounce "Haganah" in English? Can someone please add that to the article? DBlomgren (talk) 04:00, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Pronounced hah gah nah, similar to Masada. --2001:BB6:7A98:2358:D869:5314:DAAD:A0EC (talk) 20:22, 2 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Page's name[edit]

Hi. The name of the page should be 'hahaganah', not 'hagana'. If you'll look at the hebrew page, you'll see two 'hay' letters. (ה) In hebrew, ה before a word, means 'the'. So hahagana, translates to 'the defence' 'hagana' by it self just means defence. 2A00:A040:1A3:1035:EDBA:5608:B667:18C3 (talk) 05:31, 10 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

transcription edit[edit]

Revise

  • Haganah (Hebrew: הַהֲגָנָה ha-Ganah, lit. 'The Defense')

to

  • The Haganah (Hebrew: הַהֲגָנָה ha-Haganah, lit. 'The Defense')

As it stands, it gives the (incorrect) impression that the definite article ha- is subsumed into the name like in Hashomer, which is simply not the case. Kyoto Grand (talk) 20:57, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
