Thank you, O Sora

A perfect example of how rewarding it can be when threads in this forum start meandering around their topics. ^

You're welcome, LapLap.^

Your response keeps me motivated to stay in this forum.

The word "meander" which you used is one of the words in an English vocabulary building CD I sometimes listen to in my car. I was not able to master the word by the CD, but when I read your post, like a magic, I felt I memorized it for life.

I thank this forum very much. I am determined to do おんがえし(ongaeshi).

jib, I didn't know how Hebrew is written and spoken. So I looked into it. Now I think I understand what you meant. Is it about vowels ?

-Off topic-
When I googled Hebrew in Japanese, I found a site claiming that hiragana was from Hebrew alphabet not from kanji.

This might be a crazy theory but interesting.

I'll see your kooky theory and raise you a crackpot theory!
http://www5.ocn.ne.jp/~magi9/isracame.htm Ya know, as much as I'd love my Japanese friends to be blood brothers, sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence.

Oy Vay !

Yes, I think that's what he meant. ayb indeed.

Actually, I was thinking of consonants ... or disconsonance.
It seems I've put some into this thread.

OyYB.
