[Avodah] Nar NaAr

[Meir Rabi]

The qorei who leins "vehinei nar bokheh"?
Ever hear "vehinei nayr bokheh"?

But this is a common problem when the vowel is moved, and one suspects this
happens because we are not familiar with the Schwa, eg El-Azar becomes
Ela-Zar, there was no such person in the family.
Vo-A-As Aron Atzei Shittim becomes Vo-As; perhaps this is also driven by our
reluctance to say As, it sounds rather indelicate. Which is like the
re-adjustment of Gd making his abode in these lower regions - which sounds
perfectly acceptable when one hears Gd made His Dira in the Tachtoinim,
however when said in the modern Hebrew dialect with the M Hebrew
pronunciation to a M Hebrew speaking audience - it sounds
perfectly preposterous.
