Fortunately, the nusach barely needs to be changed to accommodate the
correct grammar: the musical phrase for "az beqol" can be filled with
just "az", that for "ra'ash gadol" takes "beqol ra'ash", and that for
"adir vechazaq mashmi'im qol" needs a very subtle change to take "gadol
adir vechazaq, mashmi'im qol" (works better if you pronounce "gadol
adir" correctly milra).
