Hi Karl,
Maybe some of your inventive lexicography has struck at the heart of
Hebrew semantics. But I like the philosophy of the mainstream lexicons
better, which shun imagining reductions that make perfect sense. It's
the "imagining" I don't like. Sometimes even the "perfect sense" part
is a little suspicious.
Regards,
Bryan
