Pere,

Do you really believe that the ancient Hebrews had something that we  
are compelled to fancifully call today "energic nun"? You are saying  
that this nun is inserted. But is it not the reverse, namely, that  
this nun was there in the first place and then over time dropped out  
of the form? Should we then mark and call the vacated spot "the  
dropped energic nun fault line", or something else to this effect?
