Karl, your last post had nothing to contribute to the issue. to wit, it is irrelevant if you use a different methodology, or if you think that I think in modern Hebrew, or if you know very little about modern Hebrew.
please demonstrate that your statements about *natsal and hatsil are internally consistent and produce readings that fit the whole biblical text. Show how they produce reasonable, good readings in the various contexts. I found your statements inconsistent, and your definition of *natsal inappropriate as a base for hatsil, it would create an EXTRA layer of causation "to cause someone/someting to take away . . ." As I said: "If and when you want to pick it up, please do not rehearse personal backgrounds but -- simply give a definition that explains how *natsal means approximately "to take away [for safety]" and hitsil is a causative built on that. Until then, it should just be dropped." Your last message did nothing about the hatsil issue. -- Randall Buth, PhD www.biblicallanguagecenter.com Biblical Language Center Learn Easily - Progress Further - Remember for Life _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
