Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ...the emphatic word in the sentence. rv'ran n726w. 4. Another tristich, if ft is correct; in this case fn 'jo must be taken with DVDVin, and this yields a very strange phrase, though it has commonly been accepted without demur. Further (1) rPJD D'TOPSD, though a possible, is not a very probable three-stressed line; (2) fa iJ"njD and ijn nJXD look like parallel expressions: yet as such they would produce 2: 2 rhythm, which is very rare in Job (igw n.).
