[HANASHIR:3481] Hebrew Question



Hi All,

I have a question.  I am not sure what hanashir and hava nashirah mean.

Here's what I know:  shir means song, nashir means we will sing, hava
means let us, hava nashira sounds much like hava nagilah which I also
can't translate. :(

So hava nashirah must mean let us sing but I can't explain the 'ah' at
the end. HELP!

Less useful things that I know: nashir also means diciduous, nashirah
means falling off or out as in leaves or hair. :)

Thanks,

Ruth
