<div>Being new to this list, I don't know how exhaustively this may have been discussed before, but, anyway, here goes:</div>
<div> </div>
<div>1. In the Kaddish, when, where, and by whom was the earliest known use of these word forms? (pardon my layman's orthography)---</div>
<div> </div>
<div>a. Yisgadeil</div>
<div>b. V'Yiskadeish</div>
<div>c. Tiskabeil</div>
<div>d. Any others heard in some shul(s), where a tzeire has (seemingly at least!) replaced a patach</div>
<div> </div>
<div>2. What is the most scholarly rationale for any or all of these forms, given by those who use them?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>3. What are the best counter-arguments in favor of using a patach in these situations?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
