"I don’t know Longacre, nor Rocine’s model, but Buth demonstrated on this
forum that he doesn’t know Biblical Hebrew very well, because he doesn’t
know Hebrew Bible. He made grammatical and syntactical errors."

You said in so many words "that he doesn't know Biblical Hebrew very well."
I don't know how you can now claim you said no such thing, because it's
right there.

I disagree with Buth a LOT. But he does know his field. How many times he's
sat down and read it from cover to cover, and how long ago that was, these
things are irrelevant. That's not the only way to know the language, and
really, it may not even be the best way.
