In Hebrew, the word for the highest soul, that which God breathed into Adam, is N’Shama—”the hearer”.
This is wrong. The Hebrew word נשמה / N’Shama means “breath” or “breathing”, based on the concept of God blowing the soul into Adam.Seehttps://www.sefaria.org.il/Genesis.2.7?lang=bi&aliyot=0https://mg.alhatorah.org/Triple/Ramban/Ramban/Bereshit/2.7#m6e1n6
If N’Shama where spelt נשמע rather than נשמה it would mean “is heard” or “will be heard”, but it isn’t spelt this way—the two words have different roots.
