P R E F A C E THIS introduction to Palestinian Jewish Aramaic presupposes a general knowledge of Hebrew or of some other Semitic language, such as Syriac or Arabic.

It is intended primarily to equip students

for the reading of the Targums ( O J ) and the Aramaic portions of the Palestinian T a l m u d and Midrashim ( P T M ) , and to provide a help to the study of the Aramaic elements contained in the writings of the New Testament. T h e Aramaic of the books of Ezra and Daniel is perhaps best learned after a study has been made of one of the dialects just named.

Its forms and uses, therefore, are noted in a supplemen-

tary way throughout the grammar.

At the same time those who

choose to begin with Old Testament Aramaic ( O T A ) may do so with the help of the special paradigms at the end of the book and by concentrating chiefly on the notes marked O T A , which have been placed towards the close of most of the sections into which the grammar is divided. T h e pioneer work of Gustaf Dalman is everywhere presupposed and made use of.

His grammar of O J and P T M formulates the

now accepted principles of their treatment (see p. 9) and provides an inexhaustible store-house of material for further investigation. In accordance with his conclusions the punctuation of the supralinear M S S . is taken as a standard, although transliterated uniformly into the familiar sublinear system and so, in some particulars, made more precise (see § 2). Dalman's grammar does not include syntax, so that the notes on syntax are a special feature of this grammar and are based almost entirely on the writer's personal observations. 2765

T h e paradigm of the verb, also, has been made,

more closely than is usual, a reproduction of existing verbal forms. Strack's edition of the texts, in his Biblical Aramaic Grammar, is assumed to be referred to, except when otherwise stated.

Special

note has been made of the evidence of the supralinear M S S . of O T A , of which Strack gives specimens. References to the Targum of Onkelos are made implicitly to the supralinear editions of Kahle, Merx, and Praetorius, so far as they go (see Literature, p. 8).

In the case of Gen. 1 - 4 and 24, the

source is Merx's Chrestomathy, for other parts of the Pentateuch, Berliner's Onkelos is used.

T h e references to Dalman's Dialeki-

proben are made by means of figures referring to the page, paragraph, and line, generally without mention of the title, sometimes with the abbreviation Chrest. prefixed. Much of the material in most sections of the grammar may be passed over on a first reading.

are recommended to confine themselves at first to the notes marked with an asterisk.

pletely are similarly marked.

knowledge of Hebrew may begin to read the chapters of Genesis contained in Merx's Chrestomathy after they have completed § 8 of the Grammar.

be used at first. Dalman's interesting Dialektproben, if it can be obtained, may be commenced at p. 14, after a few chapters of the Targum have been read. Unfortunately the Dialektproben is now out of print and there is no immediate prospect of its re-issue. The publication of further selections from the Aramaic portions of the Jerusalem Talmud, with an English vocabulary, would be of great assistance to English students of this literature. The language of the Aramaic Papyri of the Fifth Century B.C., recently edited and translated by A. Cowley (1923), is closely related to the idioms of OJ, P T M , and OTA. The announcement by the editor of his intention to publish a grammar of the dialect of these papyri makes it superfluous to apologize for its exclusion from the scope of the present work. Still it may be said that, on the scale of treatment here attempted, no more than three dialects could properly be included. A more comprehensive work must be preceded by other detailed studies, which do not yet exist. It is a very pleasant duty to acknowledge the help and encouragement the writer has received from the members of the Society for Old Testament Study, both individually and collectively. Without the assurance of their support and interest this grammar would never have been published nor expanded into its present form. Special thanks are due to my friend, the energetic and resourceful secretary, Dr. T . H. Robinson, of Cardiff University College. I am greatly obliged to the readers of the Clarendon Press for their vigilant attention to every detail and to the Delegates for the cordiality of their acceptance of my work. My Assistant, Mr. E . J. Harris, B.D., has twice read through the proofs and has verified many references and has helped to remove inaccuracies that might otherwise have escaped detection. Glasgow, 5th March, 1924.

INTRODUCTION

D A L M A N ' S Grammar of Jewish-Palestinian Aramaic (Leipzig, 1894) opened a new period in the study of the Aramaic dialects. It separated clearly for the first time the dialects of the Targums, Talmuds, and Midrashim, and it supplied a coherent and correct vocalization of the grammatical forms of the Targum of Onkelos and of the related dialect used in the Palestinian Talmud. The vocalization was based upon Yemenite MSS., which employed supralinear vowel signs. The second edition of Dalman's grammar (1905), along with his dictionary (1901), supplemented and revised his early work, but did not change its fundamental character.

It was now made clear that the Targums of Onkelos (Pentateuch) and Jonathan (Prophets) were written in practically the same Aramaic dialect (OJ), somewhat modified by the influence of the Hebrew originals, and that the Palestinian Talmud and Midrashim preserved the remains of another dialect (PTM), closely related to the former. Because of this relationship Dalman supplied the unvocalized texts of P T M with vowels determined for the most part by the analogy of the supralinear tradition of the Targums. In this whole literature he saw, with good reason, the best avenue of approach to the Aramaic speech of Palestine in the time of Christ and a valuable help to the study of the language and thought of the New Testament. The origin, character, and variations of the supralinear MSS. of 2765

and His

T h e oldest and best

tradition of the Aramaic of the T a r g u m s is contained in M S S . of Babylonian

(i.e.

Mesopotamian) origin.

The

represent this tradition modified by the principles of the school of Tiberias in Palestine.

T h e measure of Palestinian influence in-

T h e sublinear

vocalization of Berliner's edition of Onkelos goes back ultimately to a M S . which used

the supralinear

system.

The

forms of

Berliner's edition are not real Aramaic forms, but through them we m a y reach a supralinear tradition similar to that of the M S S . which employ a supralinear vocalization. T h e texts of P T M are to a large extent stories written in a simple popular style.

T h e language, according to Dalman, is that

of Galilee in the third and fourth centuries A.D.

Part of what is

contained in the Midrashim may be dated as late as the sixth century.

There are some differences of vocabulary between the

T a r g u m s of Onkelos and Jonathan, but no very obvious differences of grammar.

T h e Aramaic of these T a r g u m s has a more literary

character than the language of the Galilean stories, and is supposed to have been moulded first in J u d e a . may not have received

T h e T a r g u m s themselves

their final literary form before the fifth

century, but the idiom in which they are written probably goes back at least to the second century and perhaps earlier.

Dalman's

interpretation of the phraseology of the N e w Testament in the light of Aramaic usage proceeds on the view that we have in O J and P T M , respectively, close approximations to the literary and popular forms of the language of Palestine in the time of Christ. 1 1 See especially Dalman's Words of Jesus, Introduction, section viii. The most recent attempt to show the influence of Aramaic upon a NT writer is

ORTHOGRAPHY

3. In the simple Babylonian punctuation there are signs for daghesh (a supralinear J o r x ) and raphe (supralinear P or r ) , which, however, are seldom used (Kahle, p. 167). Some Yemenite MSS. do not employ daghesh at all (as in Merx, pp. 57 if.), others regularly use the Palestinian sign (so in Judges and Joshua as edited by Praetorius). The supralinear MSS. of O T A in Strack occasionally exhibit the Babylonian signs for daghesh (Dan. 4. 24, 5. 8, i 2 , & c . ) and raphe (Dan. g. 7, 12). 4. The supralinear punctuation at first had no sign equivalent to the Palestinian silent shewa. Some Babylonian MSS., however, which use a complex system of punctuation, employ the sign for vocal shewa ambiguously as in the Palestinian system. In Yemenite MSS. the shewa sign usually represents only vocal shewa, although in some few cases it may represent Palestinian silent shewa also. 5. Pathah furtive is seldom represented in either the Babylonian or the Yemenite MSS., but was, presumably, pronounced in the positions indicated by the Palestinian tradition, and so may be introduced into a sublinear transliteration of the supralinear signs. The suffix (§ 4) is, however, to be excepted from this treatment, in accordance with the analogy of OTA. 0. The following vowel signs are used in the supralinear system of the simplest type : Qames

Pathah and seghol Sere . Hireq

Holem

Shureq

The first six of these signs denote regularly both long vowels and short vowels.

Qames at first had only the sound of a in

' psalm' (approximately), not that of a in ' ball', and holem represented

both Palestinian 0 and

Palestinian

holem.

The later

Yemenite MSS., however, use qames for 0, so that, at different

§ 2. periods, both ^

and S^ "'ere pronounced as Hebrew

No

distinction is made in the representation of pathah and seghol, although, presumably, both sounds were used in actual speech.

In

transliterating the supralinear pathah into sublinear writing, the analogy of O T A and of Hebrew will determine our choice between sublinear pathah and sublinear seghol. 7. In Babylonian and sporadically in Yemenite MSS., pathah is used for hateph pathah, following N and 5? and sometimes following H and n (e.g. " O i for "HOK, TiyK for 1 " ? ^ ) .

This usage occurs

in the supralinear MSS. of O T A (Dan. 3.12, 3. 13, 4. 28, 4. 29), but not consistently (Dan. 4. 32 n'psi, 5. 5 nnjjB>). 8. Some supralinear MSS. have forms like tM'N, Nnb'N, m r n w ( = Hebrew or

B ^ i j , Dni^), instead of forms commencing with

It is possible that this orthography represents an alterna-

tive pronunciation of the words in question, but more likely that yodh, with sere, simply represented ..., just as pathah stood for Similarly

.

(Chrest. 29. 21) was neither a phonetic variant nor

a grammatical equivalent of

(1 plur. impf. Pael), but was,

originally, precisely the same word, differently spelled.

This use

of yodh (with sere) to denote vocal shewa occurs in the supralinear MSS. of O T A , and it throws fresh light on the Hebrew forms referred to in Gesenius-Kautzsch, § 23 h ("liti? = 9 . Some supralinear MSS. write ? instead of

especially at the

beginning of words, but also in other cases (e.g. in T i ' J = Deut. 9. 28—Kahle, p. 14).

This alternative orthography may

also be understood to imply an alternative pronunciation—yi or i (cf. Syriac)—but it should rather be regarded as an alternative way of representing the sound that is usually written as vocal shewa. 10. Hateph qames is sometimes explicitly written in Yemenite MSS., especially in those of later date and especially in certain words, such as EHiJ.. 11. With the exceptions already noted, the hatephs of the sub-

supralinear

Still the distinctive sounds of the hatephs were n o doubt

employed by those who wrote the supralinear system.

T h e forms

1 (and) and 1 (who, which), which are used before certain consonants followed by vocal shewa, may be taken as proof that these following consonants were pronounced with hateph pathah. H a t e p h s may therefore be employed in transliterating the supralinear into the sublinear system. 12. In Babylonian MSS. and in the supralinear M S S . of O T A (Strack) 1 is the form of the conjunction ' and ' before words commencing with a consonant followed by vocal shewa ( D a n . 3. 21, 4. 29, 5. 20, 6. g, 6 . 1 7 ) , even when that following consonant is 3, D, or B (Dan. 5 . 1 1 , 6 . 1 1 ) .

Before a , a , and a not followed by

vocal shewa, the form of the conjunction is }, implicitly, at least, since the vowel is generally not explicitly represented.

In the

Yemenite MSS. of O J 1 is used in all these cases, as in sublinear Hebrew texts (so in Praetorius's edition of Joshua and Judges a n d in Berliner's Onkelos). 13, W h e n the initial consonant of a word is followed by vocal shewa simple, the supralinear punctuation does not indicate its presence if it is preceded by the conjunction 1 or 1 (Gen. 1 . 1 0 , 1. 17, Judg. 1 . 1 7 , 1. 22, D a n . 3. 2 1 , 5. 11, 6 . 1 7 , &c.).

T h i s may

imply that the vocal shewa in these cases, as in Hebrew VW, was n o longer pronounced (so Dalman, p. 240).

and

Some M S S .

treat words that commence with n and n in the same way so that, for example, Njni may perhaps be an alternative for KJH! (cf. H e b . I 3 r 6 ) . In the Babylonian M S S . and in the supralinear MSS. of O T A (Strack), however, vocal shewa following an initial consonant is frequently unrepresented in writing, especially in association with particular forms or words, such as the particles 3 , 3 , b, and 1. T h i s implies that the absence of the sign of a hurried vowel (vocal shewa) is not a certain proof of its absence in speech, and m a k e s

any conclusion regarding the case of the preceding paragraph uncertain. 14. In OTA the diphthong ai causes mutation, like a simple vowel, and silent shewa is written after the yodh of the diphthong (e.g. in w^a, n;in ; w n ) . Compare also, perhaps, NJTn-ji?(§ n , note 12) and ^ n u t p (Ps. 1 1 6 . 7, in the Hebrew Psalter). These analogies may be allowed to determine the sublinear vocalization of OJ and P T M in such words as HV7, (§ 6), Nnna? (§ 11, note 7), (§ 31), and the pronominal suffixes V??. and (§ 13). § 3.

The accusatives of the personal pronouns are expressed in three ways: (1) by suffixes (§ 36), (2) by W , &c., (3) by »5», &c. OJ nearly always follows the Hebrew text in its choice between a verbal suffix and an independent accusative form. In the latter case it regularly employs &c., seldom &c. For and Jinb after particc. see Gen. 3 . 1 5 and Exod. 3. 9. In P T M &c., are used as accusatives after participles (18.12, 19. 5, 20.11, 14, &c.) and sometimes after finite forms of the verb (16. ii. 9, 26.3, 28.15). A pronominal object after a verb is usually expressed by a suffix, 'JV, &c., occur after participles (16. ii. 3, 23. 2), perfects (19. ii. 14, 21. 7, 25. ii. 5), and impff. (22. 5)In O T A the pronominal object of a verb is generally expressed by means of a suffix. But only the independent forms isn (in Ezra), ?isn (in Daniel) and (Dan. 6. 25) are used for ' t h e m ' . JV with a suffix occurs once (Dan. 3. 12, iii""Tt), ''i', &c., only with participles (Dan. 2. 23, 4. 22, 29, 6. 17, Ezra 5. 2). E t h i c Dative. 5.

Forms. 1*. Ninn and N^n are the forms of the Babylonian MSS. published by Kahle. NWn and tonn in the supralinear Yemenite MSS. are Hebraisms (Dalman). p.^n (16. ii. 7) is pointed P^n in Dalman's paradigm (p. 397). 2*. p^N, p j M , and p r x are the unvocalized spellings of P T M (§ 2. 1). 3. P ^ i , NTH, and )\b]n occur as alternatives to P?n, &c. (e.g. 15. 6) and are cited by Dalman (p. 111), but are held by him to be incorrect forms (p. 120). 4. P T M has a number of forms such as pnt? and jntf (28. 24) in •which x alternates with ¡1. It also frequently uses contracted forms 0^0, &c.). p i and p i n coalesce with a following Kin into into *y, "J (Dalman, p. 112). and M'n. 3, 1 join with OTA. 5. For OTA forms see paradigm (p. 92). J13K for ' those ' (Dan. 2. 44) and nW for ' these' (Ezra 5 . 1 5 ) occur each once only. |31 ' t h a t ' is both masculine (once) and feminine (twice). In OTA the same forms are used, without distinction, as adjectives and pronouns. See also notes 10 and 14.

6. JjH occurs in P T M as an enclitic particle

following interrogative pronouns (Dalman, Grammar, pp. h i and 224).

In OJ it is similarly used to translate n j after neb (Gen.

25.22) and also for Hi associated with a numeral (Gen. 27.36, Judg. 1 6 . 1 5 ) .

is sometimes used by OJ as a translation of

Hebrew ¡"13 (Gen. 45.9, Exod. 3 . 1 4 f., 5 . 1 0 , 7.26, Josh. 24.2, Judg. 1 1 . 1 5 , 2 Kings 19. 20). 7*.

is usually equivalent to Htj>n (Judg. 6. 20, &c.) and

seldom occurs otherwise (Gen. 27. 33). T h e pronoun ' t h a t ' in OJ is also expressed by Kin (Gen. 2. 19, 41. 28, 42. 14, Exod. 16. 23, Amos 7.6), which might, therefore, properly be included in the table. Syntax.

8*. OJ generally distinguishes between adjective and

pronoun forms.

Exceptions are: (a)

(6) P;? instead of P^n,

after a noun with a pronominal suffix attached, under the influence of the Hebrew text (Exod. 10. 1, Josh. 2. 20, Judg. 6.14), (c) the phrase PS NOV = nisn 'to-day' (cf.

KG* 'this day'), id) N'ira

(Judg. 13. 23, 15.7). 9. In P T M

twrn generally

serves as

the

pronoun ' that'

(16. ii. 11 and 13, 18. ii. 3) and other singular adjective forms are also freely used as pronouns (15. 6, 16. ii. 12, 28. 24). On

the other hand, pronoun forms are used as adjectives

(18. ii. 10 and 1 1 — n , 28. 1 3 — p b s ,

in particular, occurs

more often than P^n as an adjective (16. ii. 10, 17. ii. 8, 20. 21, 24. ii. 1). 10*. In P T M a demonstrative nearly always stands before its associated noun (two exceptions in ChresL 20. 12 and 21. 15 are both from the same narrative).

In OJ the influence of the Hebrew

text has established the rule that demonstratives follow the nouns they qualify.

Exceptions agree with the order of the Hebrew text

(Gen. 2. 23, Judg. 1 6 . 1 5 , &c.)

In O T A a demonstrative adjective

generally follows, but may precede, an associated noun (Dan. 2. 44). c 2

In O T A before a noun governed by a preposition an anticipative pronominal suffix is used in an emphasizing demonstrative sense (NJO] it? ' a t that very time'). T h e noun is then in the emphatic form (§ 8). So in P T M fini"1 janf) ~\m < he said to this same R. J o c h a n a n ' (20. ii. 10).

In P T M and O J the emphatic state tends to lose its distinctive definite meaning, as in Syriac, but to a m u c h lesser extent ( 1 4 . ii. 1, 25. ii. 10, 18. ii. 2, 2 0 . 1 2 , 24. ii. 1, 27. 6, 25. ii. 3 and 9 ; Gen. 2 . 1 0 , E x o d . 1 . 8 , 1 2 . 2 0 , Josh. 2 . 2 , Judg. 9 . 3 6 ) .

In

PTM

emphatic forms ( 1 8 . 6 , 18.ii. 6, 19. ii. 3, 21. ii. 7, 2 7 . 2 ) as well as absolute forms (16. ii. 6, 1 7 . ii. 1, 29. r, 25. ii. 3) are associated with the indefinite word i n , one.

In O J the emphatic state seems to be

more often used with i n (Gen. 1 . 9 , 2. 24, 27. 38, 45, 3 3 . 1 3 , 3 4 - l 6 . 4 0 . 5 , Deut. 2 4 . 5 , Josh. 3 . 1 2 , r 3 , 1 7 . 1 7 , Judg. 6 . 1 6 , 9 . 3 7 ) than the absolute is (Gen. 1 . 5 , 1 1 . 1 , Deut. 2 8 . 7 , Josh. 9 . 2 ) .

The

MS.

evidence sometimes varies and the printed texts even have both constructions in the same verse (Gen. 1 1 . 6, Josh. 1 7 . 1 4 ) .

I n OJ

a singular indefinite object is generally expressed by the emphatic state ( G e n . 2. 8, 4 . 1 , 4 . 1 7 , 20. 9, 21. 8, 28. 2, 29. 2, 3 3 . 1 7 , Judg. 6. 26), rarely by the absolute (Judg. 6 . 1 7 ) .

Emphatic forms are

said to be preferred in pause (Berliner, Massorah, p. 96, Lev. 2 . 1 3 , Deut. 26. 7). OTA

seems always to use the emphatic form in its distinctive

sense. 3*. T h e r e are a few exceptions to the rule that a noun qualified by a demons, adjective stands in the emphatic form ( 1 6 . ii. 2).

The

absolute state is employed when the associated noun is accompanied by a numeral and a demons, adjective ( 2 8 . 1 3 ) . (Judges, passim)

NOUNS AND

ADJECTIVES

Absolute state. 5*. Some words and phrases employ absolute forms in a definite sense (25. ii. 3, obv ¡V3 'the cemetery '). In P T M foreign words may be used definitely without the addition of an emphatic ending (16. 6 ff., 23. 4, , '^a). Predicative adjectives are generally put in the absolute state (Dan. 2.11), even when, in OJ, they translate Hebrew words with a definite article attached (Gen. 2.11, 4 2 . 6 ) . A predicative adjective in the emphatic state may be considered to be a superlative (ig. 8). Construct and Genitive. 6*. In P T M construct forms, followed by genitives, have only a limited use (17.13, tjH'l They occur most frequently as the second member of compound prepositions , 133, ^iD^, &c.) and in stereotyped phrases which are almost compound nouns, e.g. tw " a (28.11), thy fl1? (25. ii. 3), ^ODD 'sunset' (22. ii. 5), »D")5? DTIS 'my bed-cover'(29.15). Instead of the genitive construction P T M usually employs phrases like (a) tf»^ KSty W??!™ KIT? < the birds of the sky', 'the house of his comrade', or (d) Nnbtn rTOiO WTH 'the name of G o d ' the house of her mother', when the expression is definite, and like (c) SH"]11! pito"! ' pomegranates of g o l d w h e n the expression is indefinite. In all these cases means 'that of' or 'those of' and governs the following noun in the genitive case (§ 7, note 3). Mixed constructions like pta nbn ( 1 7 . 1 5 ) and

n o (Chrest. 17. 7, Judg. 19. 22) occur less often.

7*. In O J the use of a construct, followed by a genitive> is general, although the constructions of note 6 also occur. Examples: (a) Gen. r. 14, 25, 2 . 7 , 1 2 , 2 2 . 1 2 , Josh. x. 8, 13, 2 . 2 , 4.16, 5.1, and frequently; (5) Gen. 30. 2 0 ; (r) Gen. 3.21, Deut. I0.7—pw pbn:. 8. In O T A the idiom of a construct followed by a genitive prevails—except in one group of cases, where the constructions of note 6 (a) and (c) are preferred. These latter constructions are generally, though not exclusively, used before or after and in com-

There are comparatively few cases of the

use of these constructions as an alternative to a simple construct and genitive (Ezra 5. 2, 13, 14, 7. 26, Dan. 2. 15, 19, 38, 41, 4 . 1 2 ( = 20), 5. 7 ( = 16 and 29), 5. 23, 24, 7. 4, 6, 7 ( = 19), 7. 9, 1 0 , 28).

A considerable proportion of them seem to imply at least a

slight emphasis (e.g. Ezra 5 . 1 4 , 7. 26, Dan. 2. 38, 5. 7 ( = 16 and 29), 5 . 2 3 , 7 . 4 , 7 ( = 19), 7 . 9 , 1 0 ) . KW-lK 33 (6. 8, 13, 25) and

' T h e den of lions' is both ^ N32 (6. 17, 20).

The construction of note 6 (b) occurs in O T A about a dozen times and the words governed by ^ are then evidently in most cases emphatic (Dan. 2. 44, 3.28f., 4. 23, 6. 25, 27, Ezra 5. 11). Renderings such as ' the name of him who is (really) G o d ' and ' the appearance of that fourth' are sometimes appropriate (Dan. 2- 20, 3. 25, 3. 26). A c c u s a t i v e case. no distinctive mark.

T h e old accusative ending a survives in

a few adverbs of place (e. g. N^nn ' below').

effect. 1 1 It is prefixed to expressions for the true G o d (Dan. 2 . 1 9 , 4. 31, 34, j . 23) and the false gods (3. 18, 5. 4, 23 ; cf. 2. 34), to words and phrases denoting the rulers ( 3 . 2 , 6. 2) and wise men of Babylon ( 2 . 1 2 , 1 4 , 2 4 ; 5 . 7 ) , to the

A small number of monosyllables including T , Q i , ft, i n ,

represented by

In O T A the M S S . of M T read DQ

(mouth), but the supralinear M S S . have 0 9 , in accordance with the analogy of D nouns.

&c. W o r d s which remain unchanged when terminations

are added to the stem are principally disyllables with a long vowel in the final syllable ( e . g . BOX, t b f , 133, Tljf), and monosyllables like "Wl, D^, "Wt3, and P^.

T h e unchangeable á in the first group

is equivalent to H e b r e w o (O^K®, &c.). B nouns.

It is convenient to make nouns from stems final

NOUNS

1*. Nouns of the A type retain or assume a mono-

syllabic form before inflexional endings.

The usual vowels of these

monosyllables are a, i, and u ( O T A o).

The mutation of the third

radical of inflected forms in OTA—when the third radical is susceptible of mutation—shows that the preceding shewa is vocal (a) in the plural of nouns originally monosyllabic (psbiO), (¿) in the singular and plural of nouns originally disyllabic

All

the examples of the table above are treated according to this rule, although the Yemenite M S S . with supralinear punctuation do not indicate vocal shewa, except after a medial guttural, and even then not consistently (e.g.

Gen. 2 . 1 3 , but

Josh. 1. 4).

2 . Under the influence of medialp, b, and m (labials) u is often substituted for a and i in the monosyllabic stems of the first and second sub-classes, especially in P T M . XBcn.

Examples:

The absolute form fB3, for

T h e absolute form n ? ^ (Exod. 12. 27) may

be a secondary formation like ?B3. The stem vowel of the inflected forms of

the Babylonian tradition (Kahle ; cf. Chrest. 1 5 . 9 ) .

The M T of

Daniel and the Yemenite M S S . of O J give a (Josh. 5.15, 14. 9). 4 . In the i sub-class, nouns whose initial radical is a guttural generally retain hireq in the inflected forms.

times with daghesh (Exod. 29. 24, Lev. 8. 27) and sometimes without (Gen. 6 . 1 9 , 20, 16. 12, Lev. 1. 9). prints

Holem in

this and similar words denotes a short vowel (§ 2. 1). The reading NDin ( = Nah) in Gen. 8. 22 (Dalman, p. 145) is an alternative to NBn ( c f. Berliner). 10*. In the later Yemenite MSS. of OJ Hebrew " b is represented by

and Hebrew ^3 by i'S. In Gen. 1 - 2 (Merx), Josh. 1 - 2 ,

Erroneous dissimilation of the doubled consonant of the stem takes place in p3?n (Exod. 32. 19), from 3D (cf. § 26, note 9). The form pMK (Dan. 2. 46) is also a dissimilated form. D n o u n s . 13*. In this class the absolute form and the inflected stem are identical. The inflected forms of the word (Gen. 6. 9) seem, however, to be taken from a stem of the A class (PDbE>, &c.). E nouns. 14* .When a termination is added to words of the E class the stem of words like is either like or an A stem, with yodh as the third radical, and the inflected stem of words like ^p is either like ^D or a B stem (see particulars in table above). In forms like and from , the shewa following the middle radical is vocal (§ 30, note 3).

Dalman (p. 192) regards the supralinear

punctuation of absolute plurals like

17*. When E nouns employ an A stem (as in N^tt) the vowel of the stem is usually a, but sometimes i oxu ( O T A 0). Examples : NVn from "rn, m a from V®.

The supralinear pathah of W n in

OJ may be interpreted as seghol, in agreement with O T A NJTH (§2.6). 18. Forms like 1TH, Kjtn, with consonantal waw, are unusual. Most nouns ending in ^ are feminine (12"), W3) and are inflected according to the rules of § 11. F nouns.

19*. In the inflected forms of at stems the yodh of

the termination is consonantal and the preceding vowel (in OJ) is lengthened. Instead of yodh, aleph is often written (cp. § 23, note 9). The emphatic plural termination is contracted from aiya to e (',. or N..).

The inflected forms of stems terminating in /CP"il3, ^OT)

Regarding the first three see further § 13, note 2. ¡H is said to have been preferred by the school of Sura and (2 s. f.) by the school of Nehardea (Berliner, Massorah, p. 62 f.) The former is given by Merx (Gen. 2 4 . 2 3 ) and in Berliner's Onkelos{Gen. 2 0 . 1 6 , 3 8 . n ) , the latter in Praetorius (Judg. 14.15, Josh. 2.18) and Lagarde ( 2 S a m . 6. 2 1 ,

Dalman explains the ending as originally a, from an older ai, and so as really the pronominal suffix for 'my'.

In other E nouns ai suffixes are joined directly to the ordinary plural stem (^D, ¡iirjn, ¡ilTT^D). I n Dan. 2.32 this treatment is extended to the form ^ l i n , although presumably its uninflected singular is , as in OJ. 6. For ' they two' O J always uses firPVTTl (Gen. 2. 25), instead of pit^n, and P T M sometimes has the same form (cf. § 8, note 15). Singular stems like plurals. 7*. The direct combination of pronominal suffixes with the singular ending e of certain nouns of the E class, like ^E»» and , produces a set of ai suffixes, which are precisely the same as those attached to plural stems. This makes the singular and plural forms of such nouns frequently indistinguishable (finne»», 'nine). For the case of participles see § 30, note 4, and for infinitives § 29, note 8.

PRONOMINAL

SUFFIXES

In the Kethibh form 'tOD (Dan. 4.16, 21) "'X might represent ai (§ 2.1) but probably X stands for consonantal yodh (§ 23, n. 9). 9*. Prepositions that originally ended in e, for that reason take ai suffixes &c.), and other prepositions do so by analogy (nna, ). The nominatives of other persons are also sometimes used in OJ (Deut. 1.9 b KJK JV.b). 4. In OTA the subject pronouns of VVX are expressed by means of suffixes of the «z'form (paWN, &c.). Usages. 5. 1VK and JV.b express ' there is' and ' there are' (there is not, there are not); e. g. ^ ¡ V in Nan rVN ' there is here a Jew' (20.9). They are regularly combined with &c., to express the verb 'have'; e.g. pB^f ¡vb px ' if you have no money' (15.9). Sometimes fVN may be rendered by 'it is', e. g. i ^ r a JVK ' it is not ill my power' (25. ii. 12). In OJ Tl\;> is used absolutely, like Hebrew P*< (Gen. 5, 24, 37. 30). 6. With a predicate, which may be a noun, adjective, or participle, these particles are equivalent to the English copula; e. g. ' I am not a king' (20. 10), 2nn.jHn NJT3 IV.b 'this house will not be destroyed ' (20.12). A subject noun or pronoun follows 1VN (IV.^), except in relative sentences or for the sake of emphasis.

1VN, n ^ , ETC.

Before prepositional phrases, where IVN may also be translated ' is', it really has the sense of 'there i s ' or ' there exists', e.g. H3 f l W HD 'everything that is (there is) in i t ' ( 2 6 . 1 4 ; cf. Dan. 2. 30). § 16.

a general statement on the subject, or to frame an accurate paradigm, because of the paucity of material.

T h e following review

includes all perfects, imperfects, imperatives, and participles of verbs other than those

(§ 27), which agree with OJ, and 1"1> and

V"V (§§ 32 and 34), which exhibit the vowels e and z in nearly equal proportion.

In the P A E L perfect, examples of 1 number four,

against one o f / (Dan. 6 . 1 ) ; in the imperf. and partic. there is one example of both on each side, of the imperat. no cases at all.

In

the H A P H E L the perfect (three examples) and the imperative (two examples) have e (excluding p)?M, note 5), in the imperfect there are two cases of i and two of e (viz. *ninri and nnri), in the participle two cases of 1.

In the H I T H P e E L there are no cases of the

perfect or imperative, in the imperfect there are four examples of l and one of e, and in the participle two examples of e.

of the influence exercised by pause on these forms is very uncertain.

6. In O T A the 3 s. f. has two forms, one of the O J type

and the other resembling the Syriac form.

T h e former occurs in

two Peals (JTJOSi, nbtaa) and in the few cases there are of Hithp"el (nnwi^n) and Haphel

forms.

T h e latter occurs in three

P e als (rijibp) and in two of three Hophals (n3"in-). I n the P e al, Pael, and Hophal the 1 sing, has a form that resembles the Syriac ( n r i ! , ri3-]2).

In the Haphel, besides no-pn (§ 33), only nri3B>n

(Dan. 2. 25) occurs.

T h e form resembles that of O J and perhaps

its vocalization, which is also that of a 3 s. f. perfect, should be nn?E?n (as n e ^ n ) or n n s ^ n (as in supralinear MSS.).

T h e supra-

linear M S S . of O T A have a larger proportion of O J forms than M T in the 3 s. f. perfect, but they do not wholly eliminate the Syriac type.

T h e absence of vowels in the texts of P T M leaves it

uncertain how far they agree with the forms of OJ and how far with those of O T A .

Syntax. 7. In P T M the 2 pi. masc. form is always used for the 2 pi. fem. and frequently the 3 pi. m. for the 3 pi. f. (Dalman). 8. In P T M and OTA perfect tenses alternate with participles in narratives regarding the past (cf. § 21), and the use of successive sentences unconnected by conjunctions (asyndeton) is characteristic, especially of P T M . OJ follows the Hebrew text in its use of conjunctions. The perfect is used to express unfulfilled conditions after pK (26. 18) and (21. 11, 2 4 . 1 , 2 7 . 1 2 ) and sometimes also as the tense of the following apodosis (21. 11), but not generally (see § 22, note 2 / ) . § 18.

in the case of some verbs initial guttural (§ 23), is a usage of late Yemenite MSS. In OTA preformative seghol occurs twice in M T ( N T ? , W?*«)1 and hireq once ( J ™ ) . 4*. In the supralinear MSS. published by Kahle the preformative vowel of the 1 sing, imperf. Pael is regularly and i}< is commonly written in the unvocalized texts of PTM. This orthography is to be regarded as a representation of hateph seghol (§ 2.8). DTlipN in the M T of Zech. 7.14 may be compared. The only 1 sing, imperf. Pael form in O T A is Njnii (Dan. 2. 24). 5. After the final consonant of the preformative syllables of the imperff. P e al and Aphel an intrusive vowel (hireq) is sometimes indicated by the supralinear punctuation (e.g. = ntfe Deut. 15. 6—Kahle p. 222). So also in the Ithp e el (§ 16, note 8). Prefix b. 6. Forms of 3 s. m. imperf. with preformative b (Brockelmann, Grundriss, i. 565) are found in P T M (21. ii. 6). Examples: w b , mwb, ps, p>nb). They seem to occur generally in certain special types of sentence, e.g. in those expressing a purpose (after H ' and K ^ ) or a wish (see Dalman, p. 2 64 f.). In O T A the forms Kl.i^ , and H]^ occur. They may have been preferred in order to avoid the use of forms resembling the divine name mrP. OTA. 7. In O T A the stem vowels of the imperf. P e al are u (13D;), a and e and those of the impff. Pael and Haphel e or i (§ 16, note 12). In the Haphel imperf. uncontracted forms are nearly always used n), nae'n)). The plural ending u (or o), for un, occurs twice (§ 29, note 10; § 35, note 5). See also notes 3, 4 and 6. Syntax.

8. In PTM the uses of the imperfect tense are

very strictly limited: (1) It is a jussive (21. ii. 6, 26. 17, 27.6) or imperative (with negative, 16. ii. 4, 19.ii. 7 f., 22. ii. 5 ; as a polite imperat., 24. ii. 7) 1

' C a n ' may also be expressed by ^ "iK'EK (Isai.

It is also used in

conditional sentences, referring to the future (English indefinite present).

It seldom refers to the present or the past.

11. T n y (' ready', ' prepared') or b "Vny, with an infinitive, also expresses future time in O J and P T M (Gen. 4. 10, 41. 28, Exod. 16. 23 ; Dalman, Grammar,

IMPERATIVES

1*. In P T M the terminations are accented, in OJ unaccented. 2*. The final stem vowel of an imperative form agrees generally •with that of the corresponding imperfect tense (cf. § 18, note i ) . 3*. The MSS. of P T M indicate only u as the stem vowel of the inflected forms of the P e al imperatives, i was probably in some cases the stem vowel, as well as a (see § 25, note 5, and § 36, note 9). J'l^y might have been given as the paradigm form. 4*. In OJ and P T M the plural imperative of the derived stems is the same as their 3 plur. perf. and in some verbs the plural imperat. P e al is also ambiguous (W?*?, pJWn). 5. ¿a6d is understood by Dalman (p. 278, note 1) to be 2 plur. fem. imperative Ethp e el, having n assimilated to B ( § 1 6 , note 7) and with the fem. plur. ending silent as in Syriac, the man's ears being addressed (in Dalman ' Augen' should be 'Ohren'). Accordingly NnnEJnx = nriBX = ¿cfafjaOd (n not being distinguished from N in Galilee—Dalman, p. 57 f.). OTA. 6. OTA imperatives agree in terminations and accentuation with the imperatives of OJ. The OTA forms corresponding to Siro and aTOK are 2ri| (one example) and 2R3H (two examples). § 20. BAB

1*. The feminine ending of the infinitives

of the derived stems in P T M is often represented by n, and this orthography is usual in O T A . BAB.

2. The forms under BAB, which are of Babylonian

origin, occur occasionally in OJ (Judg. 3. 26) and P T M (23. 3). OJ.

3*. The OJ forms in uth are used in the construct and

with suffixes.

Penultimate a is unchangeable (rTnimp ) Gen.

14. 17). PTM.

4*. The infinn. of the derived stems in P T M are in-

flected like feminine nouns ((inn^ap, 16. ii. 8—infin. Aphel ot PS?). OTA.

5. In O T A the forms are generally those of OJ, but

with preformative n for N (see paradigm, p. 95).

HgWH (Ezra 4.22),

with construct ending as in P T M , is exceptional. Infin. P e al.

6*. In OJ and O T A infinn. Pal are inflected as

nouns of the B class "a"!?», ¡inanjo (§

I2,

note 5).

In P T M the

Peal

infinitive before

termination 3— (§ 36, note 8) is added to the suffixes Syntax.

7. The adverbial use of the Hebrew infin. absolute

(as in Deut. 15. 4, 5, 8) is exactly reproduced by OJ, and the P e al infinitive form is then generally written

in the supralinear

MSS. (but cf. JIM? in 2 Sam. 24. 24, Kahle, p. 28).

The idiom is

infrequent in P T M (Dalman, p. 280). 8. In OJ an infinitive dependent on a governing verb is nearly always preceded by b, even when there is no preposition in the Hebrew text (Exod. 2. 3, Deut. 1.19, 2.25, Num. 22.14, Ju^g. 8.3, Isai. 1. 14).

In O T A the use of b is invariable.

In P T M

both constructions occur, with b (19. ii. 11, 20. ii. 1 and 3, 22. ii. 6, 24. ii. 1 and 4, 26.10), and without b (19- ii. 10, 27. 2, 3, 6 and 8, 29. 7). 9. A Hebrew infinitive in the nominative case is generally replaced in OJ by "l with an imperfect (Gen. 2.18, 29.19, Exod.

§ SO.

INFINITIVES

14.12, Judg. 18.19), or a perfect (Gen. 30. 15), or a partic. (Isai. 7.13).

Examples of the retention of the infin. occur in 1 Sam.

15. 22, 29. 6, Isai. 10. 7. 1 0 . T h e Hebrew negative i>

is represented in OJ by 5»H3

(with an infin.), e.g. in Gen. 3.11, 4.15, Deut. 4. 21, 8.11,

Josh. 5. 6, Judg. 2. 23.

In O T A b

with an infin. means 'must

not b e ' . 11. A peculiarity of the syntax of O T A is that a single object noun, with no qualification, stands before a governing infin. (Dan. 3.16, 5.16, &c.). object follows.

Cf. Dan. 2.12, 3.19, 5.7, 7.25, where the

Objects such as generally follow a governing infin.

may also precede the infin. (Dan. 2.10, 3. 32, 5. 15, &c.) and do so freely in Ezra (4. 14, 5.13, &c.).

P e al particc. used as nouns always have i in the supralinear punctuation (so PH3, "PHD, pnB). In OTA / is usual, but eight words have l for /, viz.: ar^D, bxo, b&yn, b b p , pij, pi>n, nnj, b ; . 3*. The particc. of intrans. verbs have the same forms as those of trans, verbs. Examples : (also 'sleeping'; J*n"i (also pn-)) 'trusting', 'hoping'; W t j (also itfrn) 'fearing'. 4*. Words of the form 3»na may have an active sense. Examples : "T3D ' thinking'; T'i'l < remembering ' ; ¡D^n (? also 'B^Pl) ' wondering'. 5. The form 3F11DD occurs occasionally in P T M and 3FI3B (especially with verbs medial guttural) in OJ (Gen. 2. 9). Inflexions. 6. Participles are inflected like nouns of the B class (§ 10, note 7). There is, therefore, no formal distinction between active and passive in the particc. Pael and Aphel when these are inflected («317)30, &c.). Forms like jvron (17. ii. 18), j^pO (23.8), ¡DW (27. 2), and NT3J? (28.17) o c c u r i n t h e u n " vocalized texts of P T M and are read by Dalman as N"^??, &c. They do not occur in MSS. having a supralinear vocalization (Dalman, p. 311). Possibly yodh in such cases signifies vocal shewa (§ 2. 8). 7*. Shortened forms of the personal pronouns of the first and second persons (W, J3, Jjl, and Jin) joined to particc. make a new tense form. Examples: WJiT (Gen. 4. 9), (Berliner) or POgi (Merx), in Num. 22. 30, (Deut. 11. 10, Kahle, p. 16), i3Y]J ( 2 5- ii- 8),1 I^yn; (Judg. 5.16). See also § 30, note 5. 8. Tense forms got by uniting particc. and perf. terminations § 28, note 1), meaning 'they also occur, e.g. I^SD (or prayed ' (Dalman, p. 284). 1

So Dalman (cf. Gram., p. 290); why not J3*JHJ?

PARTICIPLES

Syntax, 9. In P T M participles take over much of the early usage of imperfect tenses. They serve as an ordinary future tense ( 1 5 . 9 , 1 6 . 5 — 3 W , 2 0 . 1 1 , 23. ii. 8, 26.3), and as the English indefinite present ( = future) in conditional sentences (16. ii. 13), and they express promises (15. 10, 20. ii. 1 1 ) and general truths (23. 8). With IP 'while' (14. ii. 4), and in an object sentence dependent on a past tense (16. ii. 1 1 ) they are used as past progressives and may sometimes be rendered by an English past tense (24. 2). The use of particc. in place of perfect tenses in narratives of past events is very characteristic (24. ii. 3, 25. ii. 2 if., 27. 9— rnDK). 1 0 . In OJ particc. often represent Hebrew imperff. (or consecutive perff.), but not to the same extent as in P T M and not in the same uses.

Acts customary in the present (Exod. 18. 1 5 , Num.

1 1 . 12, Deut. 1 . 31 and 44, Judg. 7. 5, 10. 4, 1 Sam. 5. 5, 16. 7, 2 Kings 9. 20) or in the past (Gen. 29. 2, Num. 9. 20, Judg. 2. 19, 6. 5, 1 4 . 1 0 , 1 Sam. 1. 3, 6, 7, 2 . 1 3 f. and 19) are expressed by particc.

For the different idiom employed by P T M , see § 22,

note 2 (c). In questions understood of present time, a Hebrew imperf. is rendered in OJ by a participle (Gen. 32. 29 = 3 2 . 3 0 , 37. 15, Exod. 2 1

l - 3 > 3-3. J u d g - 11-9, 1> 1 S a m - ' - 8 . 2 5 . 1 0 , 28.16). 1 So, also, when the Hebrew imperf. denotes continuance of a state through a period in the past (Gen. 2. 25, Exod. 1 3 . 22, 1 Sam. 1 . 1 3 , Isai. 10. 7) or the future (1 Sam. 1 . 1 4 ) . 1 1 . In O T A the partic. is the ordinary equivalent of a present tense (Dan. 2. 8) and a very frequent alternative to a perfect in narratives of past events (Dan. 4.4, Ezra 5. 3). It is also used as a progressive tense, descriptive of events in the present (Dan. 3. 25 —¡oSlö) or the past (Dan. 5. 5—nana), and in stating general 1 In O J an imperfect in questions is to be understood as a future (Gen. 16.8), or in a modal sense (Gen. 27. 45, 1 Sam. 1 7 . 8, 2 8 . 1 5 ) . Cf. § 1 8 , note 9.

§2I. truths (Dan. 2. 21).

PARTICIPLES

Occasionally it alternates with the imperfect

as a future tense (Dan. 4. 29). 12. When the pronoun subject of a partic. is in the third person, it is often left unexpressed (Chrest. 1 5 . n , 16. ii. 3, 20. 8, 2 4 . 1 0 , 27. 9 ; Dan. 4 . 4 , 4 . 3 2 ) . 13. A general statement with an indefinite subject is expressed by the plural of a partic. without an explicit subject.

Examples:

Chrest. 2 7 . 1 1 , ' m e n despise'; Ezra 6 . 3 , ' m e n sacrifice'; Dan. 4. 28, equivalent to a passive 'you are addressed'. 1 4 . T h e 1 pers. plur. of the participle tense (note 7) may be used for the 1 pers. sing. (Dalman, p. 266).

Cf. § 18, note 1 3 .

1 5 . Some verbs take as their complement a participle, instead of an infin.

Examples: Dip ( 1 4 . ii. 1), 'IB* (16. ii. 9, 2 0 . 1 0 ) , "l?Jj

(19. 13).

(' begin') is used with particc. in the Peshitta, but

with infinn. in O J (Gen. 6 . 1 , Deut. 2 . 3 1 , Judg. 1 0 . 1 8 , 1 3 . 5, 1 Sam. 14. 35) and in O T A (Ezra 5. 2).

§ 22.

COMPOUND

TENSES

1*. T h e tenses of the verb Hjn ' become' form compound tenses with the participles of other verbs.

These compound tenses occur

frequently in P T M and are also a characteristic feature of O T A . They are seldom used by O J . 2 . In P T M the perfect of Hjn joined to a present participle expresses : (a) A past progressive tense, in sentences introduced by 'who' or ' w h e n ' ( 1 4 . ii. 1, 15. ii. 1, 2 2 . 7 ) and in circumstantial clauses (15. 6, 16. ii. 5).

It describes a prolonged state or act in the past,

where in English a past tense is a possible (22. 3, 27. ii. 1) or a preferable ( 1 6 . ii. 5, 16. ii. 8) alternative.

T h e verbs employed are

very frequently intrans. verbs denoting state or condition.

knew'. In the sentence ^ H^nxi ncntpDK 13 n\pa niqi (29. 6) the compound tense possibly expresses a past inchoative, ' when she began weeping in the street, I asked her what was the matter'. (b) A pluperfect progressive tense, in sentences dependent on a past tense (16. 6, ' he found that he had been selling'). (c) A habit or custom, in the present (21. 12) or the past (22. ii. 2, 23. ii. 7, 2 7 . 1 , 28. 6, 'he used to say'). (d) An act repeated in the past a number of times, by the same or by different persons ( 1 5 . 3 , 19, ii. 15—>1Jl1 jenj) in« mrn jko b £ 2 i . 1 3 , 22 .7). (e) A future in the past (preterite future), ' he lay down beside one of them in order to learn what they would say' (17. ii. 4 f.). ( f ) A past conditional, expressing ' would have ' ( 2 2 . 9 , after ?pn, 24. 2, 2 7 . 1 2 , both in apodoses of conditional sentences, after unfulfilled conditions). 3. The participle tense of njn (see § 21, note 7) may be used, instead of its perfect tense, in combination with the present participle of another verb. Examples: N^JO N^n ' I repeatedly uncovered' (22.7), ^ V ! l i ? 0 'T-.? ™ 1 How could I have diverted my attention ?' (29. 28). For the expression of ' could have ' by a compound tense see also note 5. 4. In O T A the uses of the perfect compound they occur, are the same as in P T M . Examples: 5. 19—PJW Tin 'trembled', describing a prolonged tion ; (c) Dan. 5. 1 9 — ^ mq 'he used to k i l l ' ;

In Dan. 6 . 1 5 njn may be classed under (a) or id). 6*. In OJ a participle or an imperfect tense is generally used where P T M would use a compound perfect tense. A compound

perfect is, however, sometimes used to describe an act or state extending over a period o f time (Gen. 2. 6, 19, Josh. 4. 14,

'as

It is also used in the apodosis of condi-

tional sentences (Judg. 1 1 . 39, ' h e would have r e d e e m e d ' ) and to express ' c o u l d h a v e ' (Gen. 4 3 . 7 ) .

It is of course the regular

equivalent of the same compound tense in H e b r e w (Gen. 4. 17, 37. 2, &c.). 6*. T h e imperfect

joined to the present participle of another

verb is used (a) as a future progressive tense ( E x o d . 1 . 1 6 , after (¿) to express future custom or habit (Dan. 2. 43), and (c) after "=] and N^n to express result or effect (Chrest. 16. ii. 14, 18. 15, 20. 5 ; Dan. 6 . 3 , E z r a 6. 10, 7. 25 f.) or the substance of a

command

(22. ii. 3 f.). A s an alternative to a simple jussive this tense perhaps implies emphasis or menace (Chrest. 19. ii. 1 7 ;

cf. E z r a 6. 8f.).

F o r corresponding uses of the imperfect see § 1 8 , note 8 (2). 7. A relative sentence contains a compound tense when there is a c o m p o u n d tense in the associated principal clause (Dan. 5 . 1 9 — N3S Kin '"'I—Ezra 7 . 2 6 , Chrest. 19. ii. 15). 8*.

nin joined to a passive participle provides the equivalent of

a simple perfect passive (17. ii. 2, 25. ii. 1 0 ; D a n . 6 . 4 , Ezra 5 . 1 1 ) . Nf]? with a passive participle is used as a jussive passive (Dan. 3 . 1 8 , E z r a 4. 12, 6. 8 f.); cf. note 6. 9 . In P T M , as in Syriac, the perfect o f any verb m a y be slightly strengthened by prefixing to it the perfect of nin (Dalman, p. 257 f.). 1 0 . xnN in combination with an infinitive is sometimes equivalent to a compound tense (20. ii. 1 0 — f m n t p tin33D 'K •riK'TO 'after (he) had conquered the c i t y ' .

I N F L U E N C E OF G U T T U R A L S VERBAL

UPON

FORMS

The influence of gutturals (n, n, v) and of "1 upon the vowels of verbal forms is not as extensive as in Hebrew, but, so far as it goes, is similar in character. 1*. P a t h a h holds the place of normal sere in the final syllable of all parts of verbs final guttural or resh (Pael, Aphel, partic. P e al, &c.). In the final syllable of imperff. and imperatives P e al pathah is usual, but 0 also occurs before final resh and final 'ayin, especially in P T M . In O T A pathah is used in all the cases covered by this section. The verbs of §§ 27, 32, and 34 are not included. 2*. In the imperf. P e al preformative p a t h a h is used in some verbs (e.g. ttfai^, piEty:, T3J>:), but hireq is more common (Dalman). In O T A jnnypl (twice), psbri: (once) and f n y ; or i n ? n (thrice), with the imperfect forms of 'lin (Xinri ; &c.), are the only P e al imperff. of verbs initial guttural that occur. Dalman (page 93) makes the supralinear pathah of "l*?^- equivalent to seghol (hence Chrest, 18.4, 19. ii. 9, 20. ii. 7). 3*. Apparently the only infin. w i t h p r e f o r m a t i v e p a t h a h is •OX». In O T A the form is (twice) and Dalman follows this analogy in his Dialekiproben (18. 14, 29. 7). 4*. P a t h a h f u r t i v e is used in the pass, partic. P e al of verbs final guttural (O^p). See also § 32, note r. 5*. An i n t r u s i v e p a t h a h separates the termination n from the stem of verbs final guttural. E . g. Jjinansyn (Dan. 5. 27). 6*. Vocal shewa following a guttural in the supralinear punctuation is to be pronounced as the sublinear h a t e p h would be. Supralinear pathah in perff. like signifies h a t e p h p a t h a h and sere in imperative forms like and ^ V signifies h a t e p h seghol. See § 2. 7, 8. 7*. An i n t r u s i v e h a t e p h (before vocal shewa an intrusive

pathah) is indicated in some M S S . of OJ after initial y and initial n in the imperf. and infin. forms of the P e al (Aphel, Shaphel). and *n$>P are most frequently so treated. and 16. 24 ( 3 n q p , Hebraism ?).

Cf. Judg. 12. 5

In some MSS. after y an

intrusive hireq is indicated, in harmony with the hireq of the preformative syllable (Dalman, p. 9 3 ; Kahle, p. 223).

For forms

with intrusive vowels in O T A see note 2. 8*. In the intensives of verbs medial resh, in which the medial radical is not doubled, the preceding pathah is regularly lengthened into compensation qames and, similarly, sometimes before medial Ji or N.

Examples :

^ h

In Dan. 5. 9 the sublinear

reading is ^nariD and the supralinear is i r a i r o (or

^ P ) .

9. N between two vowels was pronounced yodh (Dalman, p. 60), hence P T M in the inflected forms of the active partic. P e al of verbs medial aleph and in the intensive forms of ^Nf? and "1KB' writes for X.

NUN

Assimilation. 1*. Assimilation of nun to the medial radical takes place in the impff. and inff. P e al and in all the tenses of the Aphel and Ittaphal. Nun and its vowel (shewa) generally disappear in the imperat. P e al. 2*. In verbs medial n and medial V assimilation of nun does not take place (Gen. 1 . 1 7 , Unassimilated forms of other verbs also occur (22. ii. 9,

Gen. 2 6 . 1 1 , P'U!).

3*. The vocalization of verbs medial n , according to the supralinear punctuation, is shown above. Where pathah is written in the perfect Aphel (Gen. 2. 5, Merx), it may be understood to denote hateph pathah (§ 2. 7). P e a l imperatt. and inflnn. 4*. The stem vowels of the imperative P e al do not become vocal shewa in the inflected forms, as they do in Hebrew (see table above). Forms with nun preserved sometimes occur in P T M . 3'D ( 1 5 . 9 , 16. ii. 7) is an alternative to 3D. 5. Infinitives like P?i? are normal in OJ, and those like pISD in P T M . Ithp®el. 6. Ithpeel forms sometimes assimilate n of the prefix to the following nun (§ 16, note 7). P^D 7*. In p^D I assimilates regressively, so that forms like those of verbs initial nun are produced. The infin. Haphel n^COn (Dan. 6. 24) is a case of erroneous dissimilation (cf. § 10, note 12). OTA. 8 . So far as examples occur, notes 1—4 apply to O T A . The only verb medial guttural is nnji, whose nun is assimilated in the Haphel imperfect (nnn) ; imperative (Ezra 5 . 1 5 , nnK or nnK) and partic. (pnnnD), but not in the Hophal (nn:n). Other verbs with unassimilated forms are }n3 (imperf., inf.), pSJ (Aphel), and pT3 (Aphel). There are two e imperfects, (as Syriac; O J Ha?) and fPOj or JM?. For the imperat.

Of the Aphels with preformative sere that occur in P T M only pt?"n and some verbs having both initial K and final N, such as NfiN, are recognized by Dalman (p. 298^) as correct.

Contraction takes place in the imperf., infin., and partic. of f]i>K (T.k, Kata, = , &c.). Contracted Ithpeels and Ithpaals also occur (e.g. "ipm = "TONm and i n m = " i m m . There seems to be similar contraction of verbs initial yodh (in T^DX, Gen. 4.18, 26, 24.15, Merx).

Etymological aleph is generally written in the P e al imperf. and infin. "lpxp), except in the cases of NriD and NMD, from Nm and NTN (§ 27). In the P e al imperat.

Endings. 1*. The OJ plural terminations i (3 masc.) and pn (2 masc.) are peculiar to this class of verbs and are used in the P e al only. Dalman makes the corresponding endings of P T M on and tun (?) and extends the use of on to all perfects, in accordance with the analogy of OJ imperfects. 2 * . The distinctive endings xn and 'n occur frequently in OJ and to a less extent in PTM. In O T A the endings of the 2 sing. masc. and 1 sing, are n and n respectively, and there is no example of 2 s. f. 3rd radical. 3*. Before all consonantal endings the third radical of these verbs coalesces with the preceding stem vowel into e or z, as shown in the table. In i perfects the reading e, for by Yemenite MSS. is due to late correctors (Diettrich, ZA TW., vol. xx, p. 151 f.). 4 * . In the 3 s. f. of I perfects and in the 3 pi. f. of all perfects, OJ retains consonantal aleph (pronounced as yodh) and P T M consonantal yodh (i">i?l, 18. 3 ; n^K', 21. ii. 7). There are two cases in OTA, both of which agree with P T M in writing yodh (nna^N, Dan. 7. 15, and J W n , Dan. 6. 18). In M T these two forms follow two different systems of punctuation. One of the MSS. used by Strack supplies the variant reading IVJVn. In P T M rvnnN and ¡"trw are unvocalized forms for nnnx (? nnnN or n ^ N ) and In OJ N appears also in the 3 pi. m. of all i perfects. 5. In P T M forms of the 3 s. f. and 3 pi. m. perf. Peal, with consonantal yodh retained, sometimes occur. Presumably they were pronounced like rnn and PjH respectively (§ 17). Dalman's pointing of iVDn (22.19) a n d ^iS?? (27.2) seems to follow the analogy of the OTA (Hophal) form nTiin (note 4). In OTA the Kethibh preserves one 3 s. f. perf. P e al with consonantal yodh (rpDD, Dan. 4. 21). OTA. 6. In OTA before consonantal terminations the final syllable of the stem becomes i in i perfects (0'1??), ai in the 2 s. m.

The 2. s. f. endings in P T M are read by Dalman (p. 339) as ain and ai respectively. |"inn might be understood to signify IMDH (§ 2. 1). 2 * . Consonantal yodh is retained by O J and P T M in the 2 and 3 plur. fem. of all imperfects (cf. OTA no!?, Dan. 5.17). For the 2 s. f. in P T M see note 1. 3.

3*. In the inflected forms, when the middle radical is a guttural or a doubled consonant, the supralinear MSS. regularly indicate vocal shewa before consonantal yodh (N^iH, f'Enn). Except in these cases vocal shewa is seldom represented (Dalman, p. 340), but should be pronounced in reading in accordance with the general analogy of participle forms, except in the singular fem. of the P e al passive partic. (cf. § 10, note 14). 4*. Words like ^n with pronominal suffixes attached are inflected in three ways: (1) the suffixes may unite with the termination e as with a plural ending { ' • n i n o , Deut. 2 5 . 1 1 ) , or ( 2 ) the final radical yodh may be retained 25. ii. 8, from "O.a), or (3) instead of yodh, aleph may be used. In OJ Mp always retains N with suffixes (Gen. 1 4 . 2 0 , Exod. 2 0 . 5 , Deut. 5 . 9 , 7 . 1 5 , 3 0 . 7 , 2 Sam. 19. 7, 22. 18, Jer. 49. 7). So also Dan. 4. 16, which is the only example of a suffixed form of these participles in OTA. 5. Examples of tense forms like those of § 21, note 7, are NWH (26. 6), fem. Kipg (Dalman, p. 352), TV^'p (Deut. 11.10—Kahle, p. 16), fJ'1}?!' (29. 25). The 1 sing. masc. of this tense is always wrongly pointed like N^jn in the Yemenite MSS. §

See also § 34, note 3.

3. Supralinear pathah in imperf. forms like

The distinctive features of OTA are as follows : In the inflected forms of the imperative P e AL the stem vowel is o (nil, Dan. 4. 11, 20). In the perfect HOPHAL some MSS. double the final radical before the plural ending Dan. 5. 15), others do not. In HAPHEL forms, when the stem vowel (e) becomes vocal shewa, it is written hateph seghol in some MSS. (H^p, Dan. 7. 7, 19, ^ l i ? ^ , Dan. 7. 23—Baer, Ginsburg, Strack). Perhaps ^ I V (Ezra 4. 12) was originally intended for 'tan' (cf. § 2. 8, 9). But the tense, termination (§ 18, note 7) and possibly stem vowel (cf. § 34, note 8) are all abnormal. There is no other example of the 3 plur. imperf. Haphel of an TV verb in OTA. See also notes above, and for fljWn or nj^n (Dan. 2. 34, 45), § 17, note 6. § 36.

SUFFIXES

where the independent pronoun ¡^X is substituted for fin (¡i). For the forms of the suffixes added to the 3 s. f. perf. see note 6. In OJ, in agreement with the Hebrew text, the suffix of the 2 plural is rarely found. It seems never to occur with a 3 sing. masc. perf. stem. 2*. In OJ is joined in writing to the verbal stem with which it is associated, N being omitted when the stem ends in a consonant and the form being reduced to JW with the 3 s. f. perf. and to ¡53 in union with stems ending in a vowel (fWn!?ip, JWFinbip, jlSin!^). The forms of the verbal stems are not modified before ¡13K except in the 1 s. perf., in which J^ris, rn\Pi3 and n^FOK are used for &c. 3*. The difference between P T M and OJ in the endings of the 3 plur. perf. and 2 plur. imperat. involves a further difference in the suffixes attached to these forms. P T M uses the suffixes appropriate to the consonantal ending un, while OJ uses those required by the vocalic ending u. Examples: H'OipfiK (25. ii. 2), 'HIpBt? (Gen. 19. 16). Perfect 3 s. m. and 3 pi. m. 4 . For the stem forms of the 3 s. m. and 3 pi. m. perfects P e al and Aphel with suffixes see paradigm, p. 90. Pael perfects are treated like Aphels. In the suffixed forms of the perfects Pael and Aphel the final stem vowel generally becomes vocal shewa both in the 3 sing, and the 3 plural CnipBK, Gen. 19.16), although sometimes the orthography of P T M presumably indicates the retention of the full vowel (20. ii. 2, FMO^DK, 21. i, N ^ t ? « ) . OJ plural forms are sometimes found in P T M (26.8, ¡pnxJ). Sometimes the vowel points in Dalman's Dialektprolen are unnecessarily those of OJ, instead of being those of P T M . In 21. ii. 1 l o a n ; should be I ^ n ; and in 2 8. 5 JUteiK should be . 2 sing, and 1 sing. 5. In OJ and P T M the forms of the 1 sing. perf. with suffixes are like &c.

(cf. § 36, note 7). Examples: avion and ¡ W p n (or rWDfi), ^ i 1 ; ? ? , fiTlN^. In the derived stems these forms, when unvocalized, are the same as the 3 s. f. (note 4), and in the P e al ¡^riDn is always ambiguous, ' he saw him' or ' she saw him' (note 5). 2. In OJ the 3 s. m. perf. Peal with suffixes either retains (consonantal) k ( ^ J D , '"Win, &c.) or is treated as ending in a vowel Oljn, "njq). With pax the suffixed forms are like ffcm. 3 s. m. and 3 pi. m. 3. In OJ the 3 s. m. and 3 pi. m. perfects Pael and Aphel with suffixes generally preserve the third radical yodh. Examples : W.V')?^ (Gen. 2 . 1 5 ) , rWK (Gen. 2. 22), "rj>m (Gen. 3. 13), » W W (Judg. 1. 7). With P3N the ordinary stem is used (I^IOi*). In P T M the third radical yodh is sometimes retained both in P e al perfects (25. iii. 7, BWIID = ^ ^ D P ) , and in perfects of the derived stems (cf. notes 1 and 5). 3 s. f. 4. In OJ and PTM the ending of the 3 s. f. of z perfects (§ 27) is generally contracted to IV. before suffixes. Examples: rwrijjste, ¡WD3 (Judg. 4. 19), linWN (Chrest. 18. 13). In P T M these are also imperative forms (note 7). Perf. stems. 5. In the other parts of the perfect tenses suffixes are generally added to the unchanged verbal stem. Examples: ¡wiJD ( 3 s . f.), ^ o
