i think your suggestion - that he disagree...thanks.<br />i think your suggestion - that he disagreed but wished to be makayem the nusach of his teacher - is plausible for this case, and for the case Megilla as well. the slight issue with this, though, is that the ikkar is chaser from the sefer. we don't see anywhere that Rav Pappa disagreed. and indeed, it seems that the general Pappaitic tendency (in all the other examples) is to create a hybrid nusach where there was previously machloket, not delving into the reason of each and coming up with a conclusion. which is why I lean most towards what I laid out in section VII - that Rabbi Yochanan, Rava (rather than setama), and Rav Pappa said what they said, and the reason was a helpful addition by the setama. Which has the added benefit of having Rava, the Amora, not misunderstand the implication of Rov (though of course one could say he understood it but disliked the additional, negative connotation.)joshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-85294745346692909812007-01-16T10:58:00.000-05:002007-01-16T10:58:00.000-05:001) Interesting analysis.

3...1) Interesting analysis.<br />2) Thanks for the link.<br />3) I love the new word "Pappaitic"!<br />4) Rav Pappa was a Talmid of Rava, so if we assume a) that Rav Pappa said it, and b) that Rava said what he said, then it could be that Rav Pappa doesn't hold that "Rov" means "majority" - it mean abundance, but he didn't want to totally argue with his Rebbe - Rava, so he instituted the hybrid.yaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08179304707239865515noreply@blogger.com
