-aid that there's a line eater ? complete hogwash, believe me.
As a native hebrew speaker here's my 2 cents' worth :
In hebrew, ( at least modern hebrew ) the language is written
right-to-left, but embedded numbers are written & read *left-to-right*
HOWEVER, if the number is written in *words* it is written
right to left. ( 1123 would come out "a thousand, one hundred & twenty
three" as in english, but the words will apear right to left )
