you may be right, just like (B+Y+, i guess we have two possible etymologies:
1) the root $BL meaning "wake, tail, track, rim" as in $BYL, $BLUL, $WBL, $YBWLT etc. the uniting element is "a line". 2) $B LUL, where LUL may mean spiral. just like the LULYM you quoted from 2 Kgs. these are the only ones i can think of. nir cohen On Fri, 3 Jun 2011 06:55:33 -0400, Isaac Fried wrote > Does $BIYL שביל 'path', "yield" $ABLUL שבלול 'snail'? > > Isaac Fried, Boston University > > On Jun 3, 2011, at 1:43 AM, Pere Porta wrote: > > > also $BYL=path --> $BLWL=snail. -- Open WebMail Project (http://openwebmail.org) _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
