Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Yigal Levin <leviny1 AT mail.biu.ac.il>]

Dear Raoul,

It does sometime happen, that no-one who feels that he or she is able to 
answer a question has the time to do so at a particular moment (or even a 
month!). Please remember that we all have "real lives", we all have jobs, 
travel, go on holiday and so on. Sometime a question gets lost in the heat 
of another discussion. There is no shame in re-posting a question if no-one 
has answered.

Yigal Levin
