the plural for master

[Paul Younan]

Ayin is a weak letter? I knew of aleph, yodh, and waw, but I didn't know ayin was weak too. I know in my modern dialect ayin has pretty much vanished, so it's like aleph (hence it being weak), but is this true in the old language too?

Hey Karl,

Yes indeed, Ayin is a weak letter .... and in fact in Hebrew the Heh is also treated as a weak consonant along with Aleph, Waw/Vav, Yodh and Ayin.

Incidentally, I found an old post where I briefly addressed the plural "lords" topic:
