So as not be hippocritical here are some examples of this exact vowel

I can't resist, so here goes: Does not being 'hippocritical' mean that you

It's the hippopotami! They are in league with the unicorns trying to
set up a dictatorship of pseudo divine sea dragons! I swear I'm not
making this up!

After all the thread about Tehom, Yam, Rahab, Leviathan etc, I wondered when someone would bring in Behemoth! The Russian word for "hippopotamus", вегемот (begemot), is actually a borrowing of Behemoth.

And no, you are not making this up. Surely it is this kind of conspiracy between false "gods" which is being alluded to in Psalm 82 etc, and more clearly in the New Testament in for example Ephesians 6:12, not to mention all kinds of apocalyptic literature.
