That sounds like those people who prefer {HISlaH} over {HIja'} simply because they enjoy knowing another word (since HIja' can also mean "tell me").
Just curious regards other's use of {HISlaH} and {HIja'}. I know there's no difference and correct me if I'm wrong but personally I like {HIja'} and especially with the glottal stop cutting off it's short and sweet well befitting any enthusiastic yes as opposed to a {HISlaH} which I personally prefer for a reluctant yes like I'm saying yes but swearing under my breath as I do so ;-) Do other people just use the one they prefer, randomly use either or some other personal rule of thumb? qe'San aka Jonathan Brown
