Dear b-hebrew listees, I'm doing a comparison between several noun types in order to make some systematization of their patterns.
I find nouns consisting of three root letters with tsere in the first and tsere in the second. And so, TBL, world (Ps 19:5) or TB+, Tebeth (a month of the year) (Est 2:16) And I find nouns consisting of three root letters with tsere in the first but with segol in the second: )BL, mourning (2Sa 14:2) SFR, book (2Sa 1:18) $B+, tribe (Gn 49:10) Can anyone provide a good reason of this different pattern? I mean: not *"the Hebrew language is like this*", but, so to say, an "internal" reason. --Have nouns tsere-tsere a feature common to all them? --Have nouns tsere-segol a feature common to all them, a common denominator? --Could we, given this and this and this root consonants, know in advance which pattern (tsere-tsere or tsere-segol) the resulting noun would fit if both vowel sounds are to be 'e'?
