I think this depends on how you construct "fexibility". As you know well,No, David, I do not know this well. Meanings are not uncancellably embedded in letters and roots, they are temporarily and fuzzily associated with words and word groups. Roots are an abstraction which is helpful to some limited extent. But there is no mysticism here and nothing uncancellable.
Hebrew letters and roots have embedded meaning which inform the words they form and
that those embedded meanings in the letters and roots are 'uncancellable'. However,
those very same 'uncancellable' letters and roots are dynamic, having a range of
meaning. It is in this way that I perceive Bill's proposition. Thanks, Peter.
