What is so special about Devarim 14:19 (this weeks parsha..)?

No one knows?

Am I supposed to reinitiate my evolution discussion, or shall I complain about McChicken again?

The answer is that in this pasuk, we have the only place where there are four kametzim in a row on a single word. Harachava.

What on earth are you talking about???

Besides the fact that it's in Devarim 14:17, and not 19, your thread subtitle says "tanach". Elkanah and Shemu'el often went "Haramatah" (eg. Shemuel Ale"ph 1:19).

Harachama

Reminds me of the question: What hebrew word has the same letter 4 times in a row...(probably an old/well known question though)....

"from kingdoms" gives three mems. (mimamlachot)...hmmm. "The luck?" gives three hays (hahahatzlacha? which is also really fun to say). "In Bablyon" is three beits- "b'vavel" "as thus" is three kafs (k'khakhah). Unless it's an abbreviation (me'atah v'ad 'olam, b'olam haba" could be abbr'ed as "m''''b," unless there are some rules of abbr'ing I don't know.

MiMuMam

from something? It's not in either of my dictionaries.

Uvavoi (and his hook). Four Vavs.

huh. Makes sense.

I hope everyone noticed the four kama'tzim in the haftarah on the first day of R"H.

As mentioned in other threads, I was at the Royal Ontario Museum this past Sunday on a tour with R. Slifkin http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v336/mel...nt=DSC03157.jpg.

He identified this bird as the rachamah:

What word in Tanach contains the same letter five times? (counting an "enda-letter"* as being the same as the usual form)

*Who made up that term??? Is there a better word for those letters?
