Au contraire, I also read Le-KOL, the schwa ("MA" or "NAX" it is the
same to me) not withstanding, in unison with KOL AM ISRAEL, as they
want to habitually do to all OTIYOT Ha-SHIMUSH B K L M.
I just looked up the Hebrew text to make sure it is עמו and not
עממו as you write it.

I haven't been following this too closely so I don't know if it's

again 18, "negda-na lekol-'ammo" (and Isaac, no need to repeat that
you don't agree with the e for sheva and the doubling of the mem)?
"Negda" is almost universally translated as "before" or "in the
presence of", as if it were "neged kol-'ammo". However the suffix -
na and the proposition le- both indicate the "negda" is a verb.
Wouldn't "nagida-na lekol-'ammo" - "let us tell it to all his
people" make more sense?
