erratio

I ask because while I may be Jewish and linguistically inclined, there are other people who read my livejournal who are much more so. Simon for instance, did his thesis on an obscure linguistic feature of the Torah, and so trumps me in the areas of both biblical knowledge and Hebrew (also he's Jewish, in case this gives him more authority). Thus I would take his experience over my own as likely to be correct. And now I feel as if I really should research it myself since you seem quite sure of your answer too. Hmm.

For looking it up myself, I don't own a Hebrew dictionary :) Everything I know about both Hebrew and Torah is culled from my 13 year education at a Jewish school.
