| Apr 19, 2015 at 4:43 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | @msh210 It answers the question now, but I don't think it's what the author intended. I think he intended to claim that whether or not there is some source, any such word-association is meaningless/post-facto. | |
| Apr 19, 2015 at 4:40 | comment | added | msh210♦ | @DoubleAA Good now? | |

The question wasn't "is it plausible that '_Iyar_' stands for '_ani Hashem rof'echa_'?" but "is there a source [besides the cited book] that says '_Iyar_' stands for '_ani Hashem rof'echa_'?". Trying to make this answer the question....

| Apr 17, 2015 at 23:34 | comment | added | Aaron | Ah, maybe i'm ignorant for how this board works. So if we know something is false, regardless of the question, proving falsehood isn't the point, the point is that we are supposed to only focus on answering the question? | |
| Apr 17, 2015 at 23:32 | comment | added | Double AA♦ | While true, this doesn't seem to answer the question. | |
