Maybe some kind of stutter to begin with? But whatever the impediment might have been it seems clear from the Qur'an that it was removed following Prophet Musa's (as) prayer in 20:25-35 (which includes the request, "And loose the knot from my tongue.") given that Allah says at the end of the supplication, "You are indeed granted your petition, O Musa." (v.36)
hmmm, there goes my theory. thanks for clearing that up anyway.

Mad Sc, i realise that greek is similiar, but even then thier alphabet are similiar but not identical like hebrew. but yeah they do seem to be derived from one another.

Antiobl:
Thanks. When you think of Hazrat Musa, you think him as one of our own, (well he is) but you dont associate him jews, despite them being his main followers. However, by jews, i mean them as followers of the religion, not particularly as a race. I know there are iranian jews in iran, and they're quite free to practise thier faith. but thats another story, i'm more interested in the past.

Shalom, yeah thats the main one, also, youm al sabth is the day of sabbath, baith for house, bakara for cattle, gamal for camel, ainun for eye, yadun for hand, prolly find a whole lot more, if i knew arabic. I think modern hebrew is quite different from back then, just like arabic lang. has changed over time.
