How would "uvin-imah" be an adjective?<br>
<br>
FWIW, Baer lists the girsa as "b'safa b'rurah uvin-imah q'doshah" (i.e. even though, b'li safeiq, only one word is associated w/ "safah," nevertheless the dageish is not elided from the beis of "b'rurah") and notes the source as Tzfanyah 3:9, so maybe the dageish wasn't elided from his copy of Trei Asar? :) Seriously, one could also ask why many (all?) siddurim have "halo kal-hagiborim" when "halo chal-hagiborim" seems sensible, and I'm thinking there are similar circumstances w/ other examples in the nusach hat'filah, so perhaps there is some method to the anti-elision madness....<br>

All the best from<br>
