  Perhaps somebody can explain what is the purpose
of citing in this list modern usage of Hebrew,
sometimes totally different from the one used well
over two thousand years before in biblical texts?

  To give just one example : what is the use of
citing  the modern Heb. term Hashmal (electricity),
with with its source in Ezekiel? It may be of
interest to those who study the development of
the modern language, but this is outside
the realm of this list.

And, of course, most users of this list do not
know, and need not know modern Hebrew.

   < in modern hebrew )NW$ means plainly
"seriously bad/complicated"
(rather than sick/pervert/entorted) and
restricted to the two
expressions XWLH )NW$ "severely ill" and MCB
)NW$ "seriously bad situation". now, "severely ill,
incurable, without remedy" are similar
