Harold:

This is the last response I will give on this, 
unless you can come up with good, linguistic 
evidence.

The only reason that MW(D came up for discussion is 
because of its use in Genesis 1:14 where you insist 
that it means "season" as in summer, fall, etc. 
based on your reading of Genesis 8:22 which you 
claim is a resumption of the seasonal system that 
existed prior to the flood. Many people disagree 
with that interpretation.

I skipped most of your message as irrelevant.
