I was saying, and I believe RHM was too, that "grow" and qamatz-shuruq
don't actually rhyme.

Try saying grooooooooooooooooow real drawn out. The sound you end up
stretching is neither a qamatz now a shuruq.

And the Israeli cholam doesn't have that /w/ sound at the end, and still
doesn't sound like an Ashkenazi qamatz.

:-)BBii!
