As part of my work, I occasionaly have to extract a Hebrew name from an old Katuba (Jewish marriage certificate). Sometimes, the Rabbinical hand-writing (scrawl) is a bit difficult to decipher, as is the case for me here. I would be ever so grateful if one of the Hebrew readers who happens to stop by this blog could take a look at the below snippet and tell me what this wife's Hebrew name is. Her English name is "Erma" if that helps. Click the picture for a larger version. I've obviously clipped out most of the paper to keep the info as generic as possible for what I hope are obvious reasons. Giving me the name in English is fine. "It says, 'Miriam Chava bat Shmuel" for instance. I know enough Hebrew to deal with that.
