[Heb-NACO] words starting with דרמ-

[Neil Manel Frau-Cortes]

No offense, but have you ever tried to explain the crazy "deramah"
exception to somebody who is not a Hebrew cataloger?

Whoever has the power could just have eliminated the exception instead of
adding to it.

All linguistic systems tend to regularization
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regularization_(linguistics)>. In any
codification system, the more exceptions you add to rules, the less
effective the code is.
