"Smudging"?
GEORGE ATHAS Moore Theological College (Sydney, Australia) www.moore.edu.au From: Isaac Fried <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Wed, 18 May 2011 09:12:11 -0400 To: Pere Porta <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: B-Hebrew <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, "Nir cohen - Prof. Mat." <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [b-hebrew] A question for Isaac Fried By the way, the new "official" common wisdom now, concerning the dagesh after HA-, is that it is not there to "remind the reader" of a missing L (as in Arabic), or a missing N (as in "Phoenician"), but rather to "preserve" the patax from smudging. _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
