Did Rabbenu Tam really succeed in eliminating the ambiguity? After all "N'su'os Lanu" still could be construed as allowing one of OUR n'su'os to (all of) Us - Cv"S rather than to the ba'al exlcusively....</div><div>(this point came from a Talmid of mine)</div><div><br></div><div>2. Is RABBENU Tam suggesting a general rule re: eliminating ambiguities? Namely that we should work to remove them or at least reduce them? Even if the Nusach HaTalmud needs emending?</div></body></html>
