SUCCINCT SUMMARY
----------------
One of Rashis 6 main goals is to explain grammar.
In this posting Rashi explains the difference
between a STATE and ACTION form.
- The OH-AH (Cholam-patach) form indicates ACTION
--if only we had died WHEN THE OTHERS HAD DIED
- THe AH (Patach) form indicates a STATE
--if onlywe had died in the PLAGUE of  the others

There doesnt seem to be much difference between
IN THE PLAGUE and WHEN THEY DIED. But by examining
the list below we see a consistent rule.
