They cannot both be {fa'u}, as that would state that Orpah married Machlon,
which she didn't. What's the closest to {fa'u} that doesn't claim
respectiveness?

According to Chapter 16, removing the prenex makes no difference, and it still

I meant "insist", which is {sa'urmi'e} in the jvoste. Is there a better word?
The Hebrew is "wattechdal ldabber"; I'm not sure what "chadal" means. Avital?
