| Jan 26, 2012 at 21:22 | comment | added | YDK | @msh210, thanks for the info, but you've got to file a complaint with ibn Ezra, et al., who uses "Yam Ukinus". | |
| Jan 26, 2012 at 21:12 | comment | added | msh210♦ | Yam ukinus is (a transliteration into English of) the Hebrew word for "ocean", borrowed from the Ancient Greek ὠκεανός "ocean", from which, incidentally, derives the English word ocean. It's not the name of a specific ocean. | |
