- Quick switching between Roman/Hebrew (e.g.,) as was supported in 3.0
- should INDEED be made a priority, as Itamar suggests. He asks
- users take time to write/call NBI about the very cumbersome and
- error prone means that are available now under 4.0 -- asking them
- to restore the built-in support.
-
- BTW, Itamar, you referred to your "obsessive" writing to Steve Siebert
- on this matter as "qol qore' bamidbar" -- as though, perhaps, in
- Modern Hebrew this expression is as alive as in English. I would
- have supposed that the familiarity with the Hebrew text "behind" this
- might have meant that the run-on (voice-calling-in-the-winderness)
- so popular in Christian bibles but poetically 'incorrect' might have
- been entirely un-idiomatic in Modern Hebrew.
