Formation of Hebrew Words from Roots. Hebrew words are formed from roots by changing vowels and by adding a wealth of prefixes and suffixes to that root. Prefixes can be prepositions (in, on, of, to, etc.), articles (the), or other things.t's the same root as the Hebrew word chai (life or living) which you commonly see on Jewish jewelry, and the Jewish toast l'chayim!

Author Note. The authorship of this narrative of the Cabrillo Expedition is uncertain, but modern scholars consider it likely that chief pilot BartolomÃ© Ferrelo wrote it; the earlier editors of this English translation ascribed it to Juan PÃ¡ez. The expedition commander, Juan RodrÃ­guez Cabrillo (died 1543), was born in Andalucia, Spain, perhaps as early as 1500. He became an accomplished sailor and a Spanish conquistador. In 1542, Spanish Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza directed Cabrillo to explore the northwest coast of New Spain, including Baja California and the modern state of California.
