And Ben-Bil (Bilaam) says it is called מירכה because it is מאריכה המילה. Another explanation, he continues, it that it is "long-stroke", in contrast to Shofar, but he explains why he does not think so. Mercha Kefula is just a doubled mercha, also called trein chutrin, two rods. It is also called המסכן, pauper, under the theory that it is an impoverished tevir.<br /><br />anon1:<br />no, i didn't. thanks. i will check it out, bli neder.<br /><br />kol tuv,<br />joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-83064483511231560762010-01-04T14:23:17.400-05:002010-01-04T14:23:17.400-05:00So I take it you know the Gra's trop vort in E...So I take it you know the Gra's trop vort in Esther -- uvehagia tor naarah ve-naarah -- is kadma veazla, but vehagia tor esther bas avichayil dod mordechai, the trop is munach munach munachanon1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-17245510502461385152010-01-04T13:49:45.953-05:002010-01-04T13:49:45.953-05:00I really like the twist you added to the Gra's...I really like the twist you added to the Gra's idea. In regards to the validity of this kind of Pshatim, it seems to me that they are what is called "parperot", much like the Baal Haturim's often times stretched Gematrias. It's not in the realm of Pshat.<br /><br />Like you, I used the Gra's methodolgy to explain other trops, namely, the Mercha Kfula in Shemini.
