Shlama Akhi,
You have a blessed New Year as well.
I'm not interested in bringing up tradition. I'm interested in the original topic of a poem in chapter 7.
I realize that Bauscher mentioned that "rhyme" isn't something we should look for. (Although he mentioned "rhyme" a lot, anyway, which reveals either unintentional ignorance, or intentional deceit.)
He mentions meter and wordplays.
Now, my challenge to you is to show it to me. Show me the metre in the Crawford codex of chapter 7, in Aramaic. Or the wordplays.
Imagery does not count. Imagery is present in any language.
With regards to bed/coffin (Aramaic arsa) the word is the same, because in ancient times there was no such thing as a coffin we use today. The dead were strapped to a bed, literally. Either translation makes sense culturally.
But before we go into a thousand different topics, let's stay on this alleged poetry on chapter seven. I want to see it. So far, all I see is his insistence on rhyme (even though he said to pay no attention to it) and imagery (which isn't limited to any one language.)
