You state, Isaac, that there is in Hebrew no such thing "qamats gadol" and
"qamats qaton"...

Are you aware, Isaac, that you're in contradiction with all the Hebrew
tradition which carefully distinguishes between the two qamatsim?

Compare the first vowel in )MRW (Ps 64:6) with the first one in ($RW (Est
5:11).

Do you think that the first vowel is quite the same thing in both words so
that there is no difference in no respect between them?

Fiendly,
