Reply To: Meanings of the names Zelig and Zalman

Oomis:

Modern Hebrew has some unique “features” which place it in a different league than, lihavdil, Lashon HaKodesh.

For example, the use of “Chashmal”, which is a very esoteric concept, was intentionally chosen by the Zionists as the word for electricity.

Others include Bitachon for physical security instead of what we know it to be, ViRabbim kaHeina viKaHeina…

So while I do understand the similarities that do exist between modern “Hebrew” and, liHavdil, Lashon HaKodesh, the above is why this distinction is important.
