Thanks, RRW. Since you mentioned it onlist, I'll note that I agreed offlist with RSM that "[o]f course...you're correct re 'layla'; but note what RNW quoted <i>b'sheim haGRA</i> <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.aish.com_tp_i_m_48936372.html&d=DwMFaQ&c=VTwaeXjOsAHot2hQQ0nozrBJwyviuCtydNuGwYGfYiI&r=e6XbAQdGwcl_5FMtQ-t1eA&m=kTYTy445FJISS-R3J3og6-pv7FyYK0cIHubcN1lrl7U&s=kxTL7YT2vVvZLbfltrRvfxQNwGAFAdWO2NXB7tnNZcM&e=" target="_blank" id="LPlnk290349" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true">here</a> (stanza
"<span style="color:rgb(33,37,41); font-size:19.2px; font-weight:bolder">THE ANOMALY OF THE FEMALE FORCE</span>")...";
<i>pace</i> RSM's offlist responsa, I'm wondering if either GRA or an admirer was evoking a feminine layer of meaning within
<i>ah</i>/<i>os</i>-ending masculine-gender nouns.</div>
