| May 15, 2012 at 11:15 | comment | added | Shemmy | Thanks; the info you (EEE) added to your original answer is helpful. In reference to the word "adon," I followed the link for "too small" and I'm frustrated that they don't clarify it. Does "too small" mean "only two syllables?" Why does it matter that the word has only two syllables (if that's what 'too small' means)? | |

| May 15, 2012 at 2:41 | comment | added | EEE | @Shemmy Apparently from what I've quoted there are 7 exceptions in Tanakh. This question was really about the why, and while there is this mnemonic and rule, there isn't a real basis or rationale for it. If you look at the jewish america link, there is a discussion of why Mem acts as it does, as it's part of the preposition Min. That's closer to an origin, and the original question. | |

| May 15, 2012 at 1:12 | comment | added | Shemmy | Reply to EEE, but for some reason this program is not letting me type 'at' EEE: Ah, okay, thanks. So does that mean that we are simply left with exceptions to the rule? | |
| May 14, 2012 at 22:05 | comment | added | EEE | @Shemmy That was an interesting argument, but discussion showed the kammatz /patach confusion showed it couldn't be related to proper nouns. | |
| May 14, 2012 at 22:03 | comment | added | Shemmy | Can you comment on the questions @Dave raised in the comments to my answer above (where I brought this same rule)? That is, is there a difference between when the word is used as a general noun verses a proper noun? | |
