<DIV>Lengthy essay about "ba'omer" vs "la'omer."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Reminds me of the discussion we once had here about "kol Yisrael
areivim zeh bazeh" or "zeh lazeh."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The conclusion was that both were correct and it didn't really make any
difference.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I suspect that if you looked at closely related languages in Europe -- or
even different speakers of the same language -- you would find some say "the
sixth day of May" and others "the sixth day in May" and although the
prepositions vary, the meaning does not.</DIV>
