[HANASHIR:10244] Re: L'cha Dodi pronunciation

[HG <tsayeret...>]

In modern Hebrew bo'i and kalah would be two independent words, thus the
"khaf" would get a dagesh kal. I think it is because Hebrew is an audial
language, i.e. based in many cases on pronouncing and hearing. Biblical
Hebrew seems to have been even more so.
