the darkness has not overcome it

actually i hadn't yet. too busy learning that "mut" means - he died for my vocabulary test and crap yesterday. the idea of modern hebrew intrigues me. i am not learning hebrew as a hebrew speaker would (that would make too much sense, now, wouldn't it?). instead i am learning completely obnoxious bullshit to spew about hebrew like "ante-pre-tonic syllables volitalize". every once in a while my teacher will come across something that doesn't make sense. like how the ending comets-hey is used for 4 different purposes instead of being sensibly used for only one so we can tell them apart. then my prof will say something like "if you look closely at this you will see why this language died. when i rewrite the hebrew language so that it makes sense i will change this, but not until the end of my life because doing this (teaching hebrew) makes me feel useful and guarantees me a paycheck."
a very amusing man.
