Shlama Akhay,

This one fits kinda nice in the 'Wordplay' section as well as the 'Poetry' section.

Shlama Akhay,

Not only is Matti 11:17 poetic but it makes use of a root which can mean either 'mourn' or 'dance'--(rqd).

w'Amriyn (and say) zamron (we sang) lukhon (to you) w'La (and not) raqedton (did you dance) w'Alyan (and we mourned) lukhon (to you) w'La (and not) arqedton (did you lament).

Shlama w'Burkate, Larry Kelsey
