Yohanan,

I am just curious, but why do you write 'BIN' with an 'I'? Do you  
come from a tradition where SEGOL and TSEREH are pronounced as a  
XIRIK, or is it just in honor of YEHOSHUA BIN NUN? Then, why do you  
write 'dawidh' (as in "Shlomo bin-Dawidh", apparently SHLOMO BEN  
DAVID) with a final 'h'?
