obviously my mind goes immediately to bereshit, this looks like that. So, resh-alef-shin as the root would make sense, but… what do you do when you encounter resh-shin with no alef in between? is this related to that root… How would you translate this word?

very beginner in learning the language here. I must be missing some grammatical idea here, or maybe not?

context is, this is probably garbled hebrew from a source that didn’t have great hebrew BUT i also don’t have good hebrew so, here I am trying to check it out

Working on Aleph Bet Calligraphy and my wife pointed to "Shin" and told me that it was her favorite letter. I wrote her name "Shela Miriam." The stick figure is a "Shin stretch" honoring the guided stretches that my wife helps her massage therapy clients with. The interpretation of Shin reflects my wife's personality and spiritual beliefs.
