Does anyone have an explanation to why the transliteration of Ester is
Esther, considering the fact that TAV has a Dagesh and, therefore, has been
pronounced T and not TH all along. I wonder if anyone knows how this name
was transliterated into Greek or Latin - whether this name's third consonant
is transliterated as T or TH.



Thanks,
