Hebrew term or phrase: הל יכ או יל יחיצר
i think the phrase means "i am hers and she is mine." Am i correct?
Chris Angelo
English translation:Means nothing
Explanation:
Dear Friend, you have not typed your sentence well, because at present it is just a random collection of letters (not even words). The sentence you want, "I am hers and she is mine", would be something like "Ani shela ve-hi sheli" אני שלה והיא שלי, or another variation of it.

ani la ve-hi li


Explanation:
I agree that as it is, it's meaningless. I even tried reading it backwards, to no avail.

The more 'poetic' version of your sentence I am hers and she is mine is

Ani la ve-hi li
אני לה והיא לי

In Song of Songs, the phrase I am my beloved\'s and he is mine goes

Ani le-dodi ve-dodi li

which is the equivalent of my suggestion above.
