a little more Hebrew practice

[cellio]

I wonder if I got my verb senses right...

I'd have said "lilmod b'Melton" instead of "latet Melton." "Tachat," while correct in "tachat Ivrit," is more Biblical Hebrew than Modern, to my ear, and I would've said "bimkom."

(also, your zayin is backwards.)

Thanks for the help! Didn't know bimkom; I know I sometimes sound a little archaic, so it's nice to have the info. (Is that a kaf or a kuf?)

bimkom is from the root mem-kuf-mem, meaning "place." So bimkom is "in the place of."

Duh! I hate it when I actually have enough information to answer the question and fail to do so.
