[Galron, Joseph]

Just for the record: the right name is with three Vavs
This is the web-site of the municipality of יהוד-מונוסון that is spelled by them in Romanized form as Yehud-Monosson

The English Wikipedia has it as  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yehud-Monosson

There are variants to it on a Government web site:

Folks:

I've been meaning to send this out for a while, but now that I have a calm moment, I'd like to draw your collective attention to Yehud Monoson.

Way back when, Yehud Monoson was spelled "יהוד מונסון" in publications, then once Ofir Bikhurim starting taking off, the publications began using the form "יהוד מונוסון".  Yes, that's Monoson with 3 vavs. However, it's a cold day in heck when I encounter records with the requisite number of vavs.

A request and only that: please add the extra vav if it's present.

Cheers

bob
