No, I just don't know it's role. You saw "how does" as a challenge;
I meant "how" literally -- asking why qabbalah (as it turns out to
be) switched it and what the meaning of three waves in a particular
sequence (or two) would be.

Your understanding of my question would apply if the Bal'adim too
switched, and the Darda'im didn't attempt to "fix" it. They would
have actively weeded out such qabbalistic alterations, no?

Parnasah tovah uqerovah la'ir! (Trying to invent a hoshanah rabba
