Here is a list of the 30 most frequent verb roots
in Genesis, sorted from least to most common.
Learn these verbs in all aspects in qal, and learn bo in hifil,
BUT learn diber in piel (although the qal does come up
from time to time) and you won’t have to use the dictionary nearly so
much. If you have bought Bolozky’s 501
Hebrew Verbs, you can use that; the Biblical Hebrew versions are much like modern
Hebrew, which is what the book focuses on, aside from pesky things like modal
morphology and narrative past and necessity.

Hi Patricia. Don't call yourself old b*tch. Lashon hara against yourself still is forbidden! Do you really think Ouaknin's Burnt Book is without merit? He's a prof at Bar Ilan, hardly a modernist enclave!

DeleteAre you familiar with the work of Isaac Mozeson about the supposed Hebraic etymology of thousands of English words?
ReplyDeleteHis seminal work is called The Word. Do you find it credible?
The word https://g.co/kgs/bZCCrv
Examples of his hypothesis are:
Air from Avir
Wine from Yayin
Skin (verb) from Sakin
Death from Da'ath since the tree of knowledge brought death into the world.
I recently noticed the amazing thing that the son of Noah Yefet who is considered the father of the Europeans and whose name connotes beauty is related to the Greek word for Greece Hellas meaning beautiful! And the Greeks are considered the culture of beauty
To all these all I can say is I have to do very directed reading to make progress on my projects which necessarily include housework and yardwork. None of these are on my list; they don't go with anything I'm doing.
ReplyDeleteOk. I thought you'd find of interest. Are you Charedia? Mesoratia?
