- Maybe in Modern Hebrew :-P . Crazy Israelis, abandoning all the cool allophonic restrictions of older stages of Hebrew! I'd prefer _espam_ or even _sefam_. Although actually, since the word _shtayim_ exists, (btw, does anyone know why/how it breaks the spirantization rules?) i guess _spam_ could exist too... unfortunately ;-) . -Stephen (Steg) "ravnos? what the hell is a ravnos?" ~ gordon "so i jump over the table again" krantz
