The word is obviously related to e,g, דייק, and that's the clue. How to translate it depends on the sentence, but I usually find that it fits with "precisely", or "specifically", or something similar. This doesn't work with a sentence like למה אתה מתנהג כל כך דווקא, only because that's folk syntax, and the meaning has drifted. -- Stan Goodman Qiryat Tiv'on Israel _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
