That seems about right; I remember it being "bad Hebrew" :)
Thanks,
James

Subject: [b-hebrew] Which?
James,
How about this:
"WAYOMER: OVEH OKHAL ET ASHER TOFEH AF KI OVAD"
Note - the second verb from the root Alep-Bet- He.
The connection between second and third verb is
a bit forced, true, as is the whole sentence,
but I tried following your specifications.
Does this ring a bell?
Cheers,
Uri Hurwitz Wilmington VT
