Length of the iota
The variant spelling and the transliteration of the Hebrew etymon (shimʿī) suggest to me that the final iota in  would be long; however, the pronunciation given in the entry is. What is the basis for adjudging the iota short, may I ask? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 16:57, 24 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I'm not sure how I came to that conclusion. Perhaps some non-plenilunary lunacy? Should probably be long. — JohnC5 20:46, 24 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, I don't know; it was just my hunch. Maybe there isn't enough evidence for it either way… — I.S.M.E.T.A. 19:38, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
