Scarified

May 10, 2007 - 1:00 PM by

When Matt and Jen of Hatikvah Blog took off on a road trip, they wrote about it. From renting a car to encountering peacocks to seeing tanks and humvees en route.

They also encountered this sign.

The closest thing I can come up with for that nuts-of-a-Hebrew-to-English translation is: “Uneven Pavement” (because it’s fer sure not “Scarified” whatever that means)

Happy travels.

    2. Scarify (v.)
    1 : to make scratches or small cuts in (as the skin)
    2 : to lacerate the feelings of
    3 : to break up, loosen, or roughen the surface of (as a field or road)

    But yeah, having to open Webster to figure out what a road sign means doesn’t say much about usability.

    3. Right. I can see it now. Talking to the car GPS system: “Quick! Quick! Look up “Scarified”…Let’s just say it isn’t the ideal word that could’ve been used in this particular situation.
