Well, then the text would have to be:

  (It is possible to have fu'ivla like "srpa'i” that are six letters
   long, but they must have " ' ”; no gismu contains " ' ”.)

which seems pretty pointless, since 6 letters isn't like a gismu
anyway.

Is there a version of this worth inserting back in, or should I just
not bother?
