not necessarily, but possibly. doubling can indeed do VERY strange things to some words: a doubling of PR = a bull makes a butterfly (PRPR). CR = narrow/enemy into CRCR = cricket QR = cold into QRQR = topple/ram down $R = sings into $R$WR = intestinal worm GR = lives into GYRGR = gurgled X$ = feels into XW$X$ = kind of tree etc etc in our case, doubling of third letter: ZYQ = flash becomes ZYQQ = distilled. PRX = flower becomes PRXX = mischievous youngster. XC = arrow becomes XCC = gravel/ground stone. +P = babies becomes +PP = a woman's walk. DWB = bear becomes DWBB = verbalize/ encourage somebody to speak. BW$ = was ashamed/american president(s) becomes BW$$ = was late. RYGN = another president becomes RYNN = sang. G$ = come here becomes G$$ = tracking specialist. GS = coarse/rude becomes GSS = was dying. GP = leg, GWP = body, GYPP = hugged i may be off in a couple of those...but i can think of many more. ... so, what exactly is your problem with $BLWL? nir cohen _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
