Is the Hebrew translation correct? Would the hyphen belong on the left, or does Hebrew append these prefixes on the left (ie, the end) of its words?

It appears to be a common rendering problem. The characters are entered in order (brackets, nun, alef, nun, vav, hyphen, brackets) but RTL display of sequences like this in Unicode seems to be broken. (New developments in the beta may fix it, but it's broken now.) According to [1] the right way to fix this is with the Unicode control character RLM afterwards, thus: נאנו-‏. I'll adjust it accordingly.
(Possibly the Hebrew maqaf should be used instead, thus נאנו־... ... Perhaps manual redirects will have to be put in somewhere.) —Muke Tever 15:56, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)
