Hello Isaac;

Thanks for your affirmation.

When I quickly scanned this segment of a recent Nir post, the following
process occurred in my mind, in the space of a few seconds.

": 2) isa 65:17:
i guess the choice of present form of "bore" (i create) serves two purposes
related to aspect: "

After reading the line up to the word "present,"

a. I first interpreted the word "present" as "gift;" then I thought "that's
not right."

b. I then interpreted the word "present" as "deliver;" then I thought
"that's not right."

c. I then interpreted the word "present" as "current;"

My mind appeared to be focused on another subject at the moment. But it
appears that ... that is how the process works. ... with english ... and
ancient hebrew. Words need context and usage amidst other words, to gain
existence.

regards,

fred burlingame
