Yes, Sir Nitpick, of course it is. But it's a transliteration of a Hebrew 
word into English, and no one batters an eyelid that it doesn't look like the 
Hebrew original.

Karl, I suspect the transliteration to 'Havenu' (rather than
'Hevenu') is due to English pronunciation, rather than Hebrew. It's
similar, I believe, to the way 'Hallelujah' is often transliterated
as 'Alleluia'.

Actually, "Alleluia" is a transliteration of the Greek form of the word found 
in the LXX and the
New Testament.
