Re: hebrew

["Avraham Chapman" <anchapman@hotmail.com>]

The family you learnt from must have been ashkinazi.  The pronunciation 
that I learnt for 'I love you' is **'anI 'ohev 'ata.** 

By a funny coincidence, in ancient hebrew, the prefixs on ancient hebrew 
verbs modify them in much the same way as the prefixes in modern Hol.  
There are also a series of suffixes for the verbs, some of which modify 
the subject performing the action and some of which modify the verb 
itself.
