No offense, but have you ever tried to explain the crazy "deramah" exception to somebody who is not a Hebrew cataloger?
Whoever has the power could just have eliminated the exception instead of adding to it. All linguistic systems tend to regularization <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regularization_(linguistics)>. In any codification system, the more exceptions you add to rules, the less effective the code is. שבת שלום ומעדים לשמחה Neil On Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 5:44 PM, Heidi G Lerner <[email protected]> wrote: > I would certainly think so.
