What is the story behind the 'declension' of Salvation: in one case
yod-shin-vav-ayin-taw (14:7) in the second case the ayin and vav are
reversed and the u vowel is marked by qibbus without using the vav as mater
and the final syllable has a holem with vav rather than a patah (with the
ayin).

 

Do these words both mean salvation? Why the taw as last letter? It doesn't
seem to be a pronominal suffix.

 

Thanks

 

Bob
