Hebrew error messages

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM in [...]


Because I don't have enough on my plate.

BTW, paamayim nekudotayim seems to mean "two colons". It's called the "scope resolution operator" in English, at least in C++. Sounds like Greek either way.

Update: According to Wikipedia, this is the official name for the scope resolution operator in PHP:

Paamayim Nekudotayim (pronounced [paʔamajim nəkudotajim]) is the official name for the Scope Resolution Operator (::) in PHP. It means "twice colon" or "double colon" in Hebrew.

Nekudotayim (נקודתיים) means 'colon'; it comes from nekuda (IPA: [nəkuda]), 'point' or 'dot', and the dual suffix ayim (יים-), hence 'two points'. Similarly, the word paamayim (פעמיים) is derived by attaching the dual suffix to paam (IPA: [paʔam]) ('one time' or 'once'), thus yielding 'twice'.
