[HANASHIR:3241] Re: Plural of HN

Hava Nashira is already plural - it is the cohortative or the emphatic 
imperative which would normally (the plain imperative plural) end in "oo" 
like barechu, but by being emphatic it ends in "ah" like "eshmera" in Ki 
Eshmera Shabbat. Both words are verbs, not nouns, so the "ah" shouldn't be 
confused with feminine singular.
