Towards Better Davening and Torah Reading

Towards Better Davening and Torah Reading
MISHNATO
Yaakov Avinu's dream of the Ladder, caused him to awake "FROM HIS SLEEP", mish (and drag the SHIN a bit) sh'na-TO. Because of the DAGESH CHAZAK in the SHIN, the SH'VA under it is NA. This is as opposed to mish-na-TO, his "mishna", his learning. This is an example of a word whose meaning changes if one NACHs the SH'VA NA.
