In the Hagaddah, we go through the math of how many makkot there were in
mitzrayim and at the yam suf. We say that since each maka in mitzrayim was
an "etzba" and at the yam suf it was a "yad" that there were 5X as many
plagues at the yam than in Egypt.

This is fine except for the fact that we say "B'yad chazaka: zo hadever"
(With a strong hand: this refers to the dever.) Why don't we say that dever
counts as 5 times more than the other plagues?

Kol Tuv,
