[QUOTE="Jass Singh, post: 20631, member: 1904"] Harsimritkaurji I have a few comments to make about your hermeneutical (hermeneutics is the art of interpretation) errors and it is necessary to get technical and go deep into detail: [LIST] [*]I do not understand how you arrived at your conclusion “Tilang ang 724 "Henh, tun henh, tuh hovenhaar."
