Adrian - please don't give me quite so much credit. Most people's eyes glaze 
over when Hebrew gets this grammar-oriented. I find it all kind of fun, but 
it was Rabbi Kaplansky here in St. Louis at United Hebrew who, 5 or 6 years 
ago, grabbed his Weingreen Hebrew Grammar (still fresh from his seminary days 
of almost 30 years past) and answered my question about "eshmera" in Ki 
Eshmera Shabbat because I couldn't place the form anywhere.

Don't denigrate your B+ - I have plenty of colleagues, rabbinical and 
cantorial, for whom the cohortative, and any interest therein, is not even a 
memory.

P.S. We could "call the whole thing off" but for me the delights of Jewish 
music/song/prayer are tied up intimately with the language, so I "groove" on 
such little things as cohortative. Besides, it nice to know how "commanded", 
imperatively speaking, we are by the title of our group.
