[Avodah] T'hay

[Lisa Liel]

I'm not sure.  We have "yehei ra'ava kadamach" in Brich Shmei d'Marei 
Alma, which is definitely Aramaic.  The yehei is the same as tehei.

I think what's happening here is that there's a certain amount of 
bleed-over between Hebrew and Aramaic.  In addition, there were 
different dialects of Aramaic in Eretz Yisrael and Bavel.  So while 
tehevei may be the correct Aramaic, tehei may be as well.
