Isaac,

In your system, how do you accommodate the H on the end of cohortatives (ie,
expressions of will in the first person)? Do they refer to third party
pronouns? That would seem quite illogical to me. It seems to me that they are
best explained as either a particle adding urgency (similar to Yaakov's view)
or a throwback to an historical form.



Best Regards,
