But was what the original author wrote a Piel? Seeing as the points were
invented two millenia after it was written, could they have preserved a
tradition
that was at variance with the authors original intent?
In difficult to decypher verses, I often find that a logical meaning
consistant with its context and grammar can be teased out of the verse, if I
change a
point or two. Happily such verses are fairly rare.
