Sent: Thursday, April 14, 2011 9:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [b-hebrew] Addition of Heh to names The Bibles tells us that with the move to monotheism the names of Avram and Sarai were changed to Avraham and Sarah. I wonder whether other than the biblical explanation and story, were the heh-less names of Avram and Sarai typical in the region at large and has the addition of hehs to names been a convention seen elsewhere or having a significance other than that of the biblical context? Would it have a known semantic evolution, characteristic or significance of no religious conotation or explanation?
