Uri,
I can not wait for Yemot Hamashiach since I am sure he will be on my
side.
The difference of opinion between me and you, and some other members
of this list, is a result of the fact that I firmly believe we don't
know how ancient Hebrew sounded, and accordingly I refuse to accept
any argument based on semi vowels, short vowels, long vowels, and
doubling. I also detest the so misnomered schwa NA(.
I think that leaning on Arabic is futile.
