Dear Isaac,

I also often disagree with Karl's understanding of Hebrew, but I think this
post was pretty much correct.  In his other post, he apparently even
considered the possibility where the root (GL may have two basic
meanings.  However, rather than making accusations at Karl, may I
ask you to further elaborate and substantiate what you wrote below
in this sentence:
