DeleteWhy don't we say that since the negiot are the same size and thickness and it could just as easily be a kaf-Chet that a tinok doesn't help because another tinok could just as easily read kaf-Chet? Ie like a mem stuma with one rounded corner and one square corner?
ReplyDeleteWhen looking at it in real life, the thickness of the connecting line of the mem is substantially thicker than the negiya
