Holy of Holies

Post by Lambuzhao »

Getting ready for Yom Kippur


Let's see how we do with a Genitival Superlative (BTW, if your :con: doesn't cave Superlative ADJs hammered out, this may be a good way to get around it).
If we do Genitival Superlatives at all. [Please correct if that is not the right term for this construction]


Ooh, and some dual Subject/Verb practice, if ya got 'em.

A) You two saw the Holy of Holies.

2) We both destroyed the Splendor of Splendors. (a nod to the Djeser Djeseru Temple of Hatshepsut)

Щ) They both wrote the Song of Songs.

Ѡ) "O Vanity of Vanities" says the Prophet.

∞+1) Mary Beth and Dismas will atone on the Sabbath of Sabbaths.
