File talk:Hallelu Yah.JPG

In this thumbnail a dagesh forte (or, in simple English, a dot) is mistakenly present inside the Hebrew ל. (The correct Hebrew vowelization is הַלְלוּיָהּ, not הַלְּלוּיָהּ.) If someone can replace this image with the same thing sans the extraneous dot that'd be great.

If I had to guess I'd say that the dot was placed there owing to an assumption that because the common English spelling is Hallelujah (two Ls instead of one) the Hebrew would also have a doubled pronunciation (which would be due to a dagesh); however, this is an instance where the popular English spelling doesn't actually reflect correctly the Hebrew vowelization and pronunciation.
