Shlama Kulkhon:
I think in my studies I saw an extended meaning of "tob", "return, repent, answer, vomit". TOB also means "to vomit", in the Aphel form.

Shlama akhi,

thanks for sharing. very interesting usage! yeah, i guess it makes sense - sometimes when someone is speaking the content is closely akin to vomit! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/cry.gif" alt="" title="Crying" /><!-- s -->

Shlama Akhi Jeremy:
I was thinking more on the line of repentance. Sometimes repentance is like vomiting out the bad effects of our unbelief, our propensity to sin. It is in our speech when we are not giving honour and thanks to Alaha and it is the way we treat one another when we do not love our neighbour as ourselves. Today we have seen the pouring out of vomit from a real sick puppy. Let us pray for each other and Zardak as well, lest this foul disease of hatred and hard-heartedness cause some of us to fall. I'm a little off topic but I just felt like sharing this with my brethren.

Shlama,
Stephen
