And what's more, the Holy Tongue in the hand of Rabbi Eliezer (may he rest in Eden) is an open city without a wall, for he makes masculine words feminine and vice versa. He says^note in his magen poem for Yom Kippur musaf, שושן עמק אויימה "A frightened lily of the valley." And it is known that the the hei in the word שושנה indicates it's feminine, and when in construct form it's written with a tav — "שושנת העמקים" lily of the valleys (Song of Songs 2:1). When the hei or tav is dropped it is masculine, as in צדקה versus צדק. So how is the שושן lily (male) — אויימה frightened (female)? And why did he flee from the verse and say שושנת עמק אויימה? And what's more, how is a lily described as frightened? Are lilies known for being fearful? What other adjectives for lilies but "cut," "fresh," or "dry?"
