  3. Magen Avraham 167:8 writes that based on Gemara Brachot 38a that says that Brachot should be formulated in the past tense one should say Neheyah with a Kamatz, but he quotes the Chachmat Manoach who says to say Neheyeh with a Segol which is present tense. Maaseh Rav n. 76 and Aruch Hashulchan 167:7 agree with Chachmat Manoach. Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 52:2 writes that the one should say Neheyah with a Kamatz like the Magen Avraham. Kaf Hachaim 204:21 agrees. The RCA Artscroll Siddur pg 225 has the Ashkenazic pronunciation of the [[Bracha]] with the word Neheyeh. However, Avodat Hashem LeBat Yisrael pg 314 records the Sephardic Minhag to say Neheyah. Sidur Sukat Dovid p. 250 also has the Syrain minhag to say Neheyah.

  11. Tosfot Brachot 46a s.v. samucha writes that Asher Yatzar starts with Baruch since it is a regular stand alone bracha and isn't directly connected to Netilat Yadayim, otherwise it wouldn't start with Baruch as it would be Bracha Hasemucha Lchaverta. Conceptually it isn't connected to Netilat Yadayim since one says it only after going to the bathroom and it wouldn't be said in the morning if one didn't go to the bathroom.
  12. Mishna Brurah 6:4 cites a dispute whether one should say אֵי (as in the word אֵין) or אִי (as in אִי כבוד).
  13. Shulchan Aruch OC 6:1. Mishna Brurah 6:2 adds that although Shulchan Aruch and Rambam only mentioned יסתם אחד מהם our text based on many rishonim is to first mention שאם יפתח אחד מהם. Mishna Brurah 6:3 comments that our practice is not to mention אפילו שעה אחת unlike Shulchan Aruch since some of a person's orifices can be closed momentarily and not be in danger. Mishna Brurah 6:5 quotes many achronim who say that one shouldn't say רופא חולי כל בשר just רופא כל בשר unlike Shulchan Aruch.
