Dave,

The various spellings and pronunciations of the name of God come up for
discussion every now and then, and usually begin linguistically and end
up
getting theological. So please let's give it a rest.


Thanks

I accept your decision Yigel.
I thank you for the past opportunities I have had to discuss similar
issues
with members of B-hebrew.

Hello Isaac:

Thanks for your comments.

I follow you somewhat.

But what then is the root meaning of =D7=A2 ayin in =D7=A2=D7=9C ? Above?

And what then is the root meaning of =D7=A2 ayin in =D7=A2=D7=91 ? Thick, s=
olid?

And what is the root meaning of =D7=90 alef in =D7=A9=D7=90=D7=94 ? Lift?

I gather you disagree with this chart of root letter, base meanings; and th=
e
corresponding evolution of the letter forms from hieroglyphs?
