Hi
I am a keen listener from Israel .
The Hebrew word for a U turn is a Horseshoe turn.
A lot of people use in spoken hebrew the term U-Tern, same as english but I can't think when if saw it written.
great show.

Omer,
You might be interested in this: Benjamin Harshav of Yale discusses the revival of Hebrew in Flowers have no names: the revival of Hebrew as a living language after two thousand years was no miracle. It would seem that "horseshoe-turn" might fit right into the Hebrew language revival.
