just a quick interjection here, and not taking sides since it is hard to follow. But it was said that Karl pronounces vav as a 'w'. Well I read a long time ago that the yemenite jews were considered to have a purer pronounciation than the western jews, this was written by an israeli, unfortunately I really can not remember where I read this. Anyway they pronounced all their vavs as 'w' and also they made distinctions between a soft 'gimmel and a hard gimmel (like the english gerrard for example) and also a they made distinctions between a hard tav and a soft tav (almost like the 'th' in there). Now this probably has no bearing on the present discussion, but I thought perhaps it note worthy of interest. Especially since I do remember very clearly that odd statement by the Jewish linguist who wrote the article saying that he considered this to be a 'purer' pronounciation. I thought that maybe he knew something that would have been interesting to learn, but he never talked about why he thought that, pity.
