I haven't been following this too closely so I don't know if it's come up,
but how do our learned haverim understand Ps. 116:13 and again 18, "negda-na
lekol-'ammo" (and Isaac, no need to repeat that you don't agree with the e
for sheva and the doubling of the mem)? "Negda" is almost universally
translated as "before" or "in the presence of", as if it were "neged
kol-'ammo". However the suffix -na and the proposition le- both indicate the
"negda" is a verb. Wouldn't "nagida-na lekol-'ammo" - "let us tell it to all
his people" make more sense?


Thanks,
