Dum Spiro Spero = 'While I breath I hope'.
And from your writing I see you are full of hope once again.Thanks for putting me right regarding Gods name, I did'nt know that Moses knew how to pronounce Gods name. Guess thats long lost.
I am aware that Hebrew has no vowels, its exactly the same today, I find it quite amazing as to how
modern hebrew was able to incorporate even simple technical words into its language. i.e Aircraftcarrier, Oscilloscope, tractor, cigarette
and all without vowels, ...beats me.
Still it has got one attribute......Its the only language in the world that has no swear words.
I understand they swear in Egyptian, when required, since its very colourful.As for Adenine, Thymine, Guarnine, & Cytosine, that as you know was my little joke. Still who knows, even jokes can back fire in the face of reconstituted man.
