It's a unit of length in Chinese: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_(unit)

I had this is my recent solo and pronounced it with an i as in "italy".

I'm pretty sure it's the same as mentioned in the text a few lines above:

“Sayonara no
Ureiya nokore
Mizu no neni!”

Would you like a pronunciation guide?

https://www.gutenberg.org/files/63256/63256-h/images/i236.jpg
It's transcribed in the book just above the image:

“Sayonara no
Ureiya nokore
Mizu no neni!”

Which is a lucky break, because I can't make heads or tails of this handwriting, aside from recognizing "sayonara" at the start (very curiously written in katakana instead of hiragana, as though it was a foreign word).

Maybe... if it's not phonetic 8-) I could certainly butcher it.

Pretty much phonetic Latin/Spanish.

z in mizu as in "bees".

A book I'm working on has occasional sentences of untranslated Hebrew. I'd love someone to record the phrases for me if it's possible but I'm ok with a transliteration.

The first one is in the middle of the page: https://archive.org/details/conciliatoryorir00wits/page/30/mode/1up
The next pair is at the bottom of the page: https://archive.org/details/conciliatoryorir00wits/page/43/mode/1up
The next pair is in the middle and at the bottom: https://archive.org/details/conciliatoryorir00wits/page/78/mode/1up

Many thanks.

here you go, first read slowly, so you can copy the pronunciation, then faster, so you hear it more fluently :) I hope this helps.

Is it from a poem or prose text ? Depending on context, it means something like: "the remains of the past glory"

If you find someone who knows Hebrew, I encourage you to disregard every word I write below. :)
The first one is in the middle of the page: https://archive.org/details/conciliatoryorir00wits/page/30/mode/1up
khah-TAH (sinner) and ah-SHEM (guilty). Apparently, by orthographic rules that are beyond me, the first word can also spell "khet" (sin).
The next pair is at the bottom of the page: https://archive.org/details/conciliatoryorir00wits/page/43/mode/1up
El and Elohim.
The next pair is in the middle and at the bottom: https://archive.org/details/conciliatoryorir00wits/page/78/mode/1up
The first one was an interesting puzzle for me because half of the letters seem to be written incorrectly, but I'm reasonably confident it was intended to say:

צדקה , צעקה , שינוי השם ושינוי מעשה
tsah-dah-KAH, tsah-ah-KAH, shi-NOO-ee ha-SHEM ve-shi-NOO-ee mah-AH-seh

The second one is: mi-TAH kah-pah-RAH

I can take these on. Do you prefer I read just the Hebrew text? Might be a better flow if I read the associated sentence.

BTW, nice work on the transliteration! The last page truly does seem to be written incorrectly. :lol:
But, I agree with your assumption. The text seems to be taken from the Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Rosh Hashana (https://www.hebrewbooks.org/shas.aspx?mesechta=9&daf=16b&format=pdf).

Need help pronouncing some Greek words referenced in a Hebrew translation of Meditations by Marcus Aurelius.
Currently recording Chapter 3, which has these Greek word references: There are also some Greek word references in Chapter 4, which I'm planning on reading soon: Don't know if this helps, but these should be the original Greek chapters:
