would expect, however, that this paired change would proceed in the<BR>following
manner: The yod in "Sarai" decays into two h's, one of which<BR>remains bound to
the other two letters while the other is emitted. The<BR>emitted h is then
captured by Avram, who absorbs it and becomes<BR>Avraham.<<</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>>>>>><BR>Don't forget that Sarah's yud was later "captured"
by Hoshea bin Nun when his name was changed to Yehoshua. I assume that,
like electrons that can be used over and over in different chemical reactions,
her yud can be used repeatedly, but then, I am neither a chemist nor a
mathematician, so I could be wrong.</DIV>
