[Avodah] Hebrew and Aramaic

[Ilana Sober]

MYG: Now, isn't "Ahavah" Lashon Kodesh, and "Hav" Aramaic, sort of
shooting holes
through this Vort?

Hava et ishti (Bereishit 29:21)
Hava li banim (Bereishit 30:1)
Hava lanu lechem, havu mikneichem (Bereishit 47: 16-17)
Hava li bracha (Shoftim 1:16)
Havu laH' (Tehillim 96)
etc...

Hav means give in both Hebrew and Aramaic. But in Aramaic it is the
most standard and common form - in Hebrew Natan is common and Hav is a
rarer variation.

Similar to Chazi (common in Aramaic, rare in Hebrew where the common
form is Ra'ah).
