Yes, Sir Nitpick, of course it is. But it's a transliteration of a Hebrew word into English, and no one batters an eyelid that it doesn't look like the Hebrew original.

It's similar, I believe, to the way 'Hallelujah' is often transliterated as 'Alleluia'. Actually, "Alleluia" is a transliteration of the Greek form of the word found in the LXX and the New Testament.
