<DIV>A small but very common error. Once again it should be pointed
out that the word is "bal" -- a two-letter word meaning "Do not." "Bal
tosif" = "Do not add."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is not "owner of tosif" (bais-ayin-lamed) nor is it "with a do-not"
(bais followed by aleph-lamed). It is just bais-lamed. Thank
you.</DIV>
