isaac, it is my impression that the biradical Q( has to do with a vigorous or extended movement, later specializing to RQ(, TQ(, $Q(, BQ(, NQ( and Q(Q( (damage/destroy a wall), and maybe ... yes, PG(.
i suspect we shall never be able to "prove" if, and when, this specialization took place (at some prehistorical point). but the use of RQ( in metallurgy (whether it means hammer, patch, form a thin sheet, or expand) is, i think, agreed by us all and must have occurred at the early bronze era. also the use of RQ( for stamp/beat is well documented in the BH and (see ishinan) other NWS languages. nir cohen De: Isaac Fried <[email protected]> Cópia: [email protected] Para: [email protected] Data: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 19:19:13 -0400 Assunto: Re: [b-hebrew] skies in plural?
