<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I will go out on a limb and say that with this Shva , even
if a case can be made for a na, should be read as a nach. Too many people who
layn (and I do not include Baalei Kriah) say vayaAncha. If read with a shva
nach, it is easier to hear the difference between a shva and a patach. I heard
three different layners this week who all said vayaAncha insread of vay'ancha or
vayehancha. Shabbat Mincha I tried to correct but was not heard. Monday morning
I had to repeat the correction three or four times until the layner understood
what I wanted from him. A pet peeve of mine are gabaim who want to widen the
circles of layners and send amateurs instead of baaley Kriah.</FONT></DIV>
