Dr. ISAAC M. WISE, THIS BOOK IS MOST RESPECTFULLY INSCRIBED. PREFACE. Tlie present book is, to all intents and purposes, what it pre- tends to be, AN ELEMENTARY TEXT-BOOK, and its primary object is to meet the wants of the class-room. Its method, by which it will be readily distinguished from others dealing with the same subject, is consistently paradigmatic. It proposes to teach the sometimes very intricate details of Hebrew accidence, by a set of examples carefully selected and properly classified, each representative of a whole category of phenomena and so pre- sented that, very often by virtue of its mere position in the con- text, it must associate itself in the mind of the properly trained observer with its underlying linguistic principle. The pedagog- ical value of this method may fitly be said to be of no small significance. The student, of whatever age he be, is always prone to mechanically memorise grammatical rules in their very wording and apply them thoughtlessly, if at all put in a position to apply them. Thoughtlessness is rendered impossible by the present method. No rule can be applied, unless it be reproduced by the aid of the example— its index, and, no matter how often the student may have to deal with the same rule, he will in each case have to retrace the whole process of observation by which he was first led to understand the example, to discover the rule. Since, however, observation is far from being blind guess- work, and one and the same example may often lend itself to the illustration of more than one principle, it was thought advisable, wherever a principle occurred for the first time, to fix the attention of the student upon the right point of view by indic- ating the principle involved. These explanations are only inti-o- duced when absolutely necessary and are concisely expressed. In all cases, moreover, the explanation is preceded by the example '. the latter remains the object of observation, the text on which the former is the commentary and, at best, a restatement of ichat is virtually expressed by the example, A system of references VI PREFACE. was also introduced which is intended to keep together scatter- ed examples of one and the same law. This was especially nec- essary in view of the phonetic laws which, by the very arrange- ment of the book, could be systematised only at the end, while at the same time it ivas thought desirable to keep the laws of sound constantly in the foregi'ound and to have the phonological part of ihe book appear less in the form of an independent treatise than of an appendix containing a summary of such phonetic observations as have been met with in the morphology. The references, as a rule, are so arranged that each new example of an identical principle is referred to the next preceding it, so that, at any given point in the book, a reference virtually contains all passages of a similar character previously to be found. Both these helps, the explanatory remarks and the references, I trust, will be welcomed equally by pupil and teacher. Let it, however, be said that references are more sjjaringly given towards the end, when it is thought, the reader will be sulficiently acquaint- ed with the entire method to be able to supply them of his own accord. A table of references to the standard grammars may be found at the end of the book. The linguistic matter is arranged as follows: PART i. THE WORD AS A COMBINATION OF SOUNDS (LETTERS). PART ii. THE FORMATION AND INFLECTION OF WORDS. Part ii is divided into three chapters: Chapter 1. Prefixes. The student is thus enabled, at an early stage of his study, to recognise in a given word such elements as are not essential to it. Chapter 2. Tlie Pronoun, as that part of Hebrew speech which may be said to contain words originating in demonstrative roots. Chapters. Noiin and Verb, i. e. words originating in de- scriptive roots. Within this chapter it was my endeavor to make the treatment of verb and noun as much as possible consistent with a view to each other. I adopted in the verb as a principle of classification the variation caused by roots, not by in- fl,ectional forms, and, as a consequence, the same principle was followed with the noun. Within each class of roots, the noun precedes the verb. The peculiar feattires of each class PREFACE. Vll and the phonetic laws as their cause are thus most lucidly set forth, while the inflectional forms receive their due attention •where they are first met with (in the strong triliterals). The common properties of the Hebrew noun and verb are, by virtue of this arrangement, most prominently brought out, and, in the hands of any one who desires it, may become the means of arranging word-studies (and exercises for translation) in such a manner that a given root is gone through all its derivatives. Lesson XXVIII. shows the relation of particles to nouns. In the following pages, particles are introduced under the heading of those nominal formations to which they belong. At the end of this chapter the interdependence of nominal and verbal form- ation is once more set forth in the form of a recapitulation. The whole book closes with PART iii. THE PRINCIPLES OF THE MODIFICATION OF SOUNDS. A SUMMARY. In the PAOS, 1893, viii. Prof, haupt rightly com- plains of the little attention which, in our universities and sem- inaries, is paid to the reading of unpointed Hebrew. This book is to my knowledge the first that makes it its very aim to train students in that very important branch of the study of Hebrew. Unpointed words are introduced to a very extensive degree wherever the student's mastery of the foregoing lessons may be tested by the aid of them. The reading of unpointed texts (such as we shall soon have in Prof, flaupt's beautiful Bible edition) is thus for the'^first time systematically treated and made the essential part of a Hebrew Grammar. While thus the book is primarily written with a view to its being practical, it may at the same time safely lay claim to a scientific character. The results of modern comparative philology are embodied throughout the book. Every form is, as far as pos- sible, reduced to its original shape, and the modifications are phonetically fxpJaired. Even the te{.irnf r must be made to understand that there is law and order in what appears to the uninitiated as a chaos of facts, a lawless v^ass which may be committed to memory and occasionally marveled at, but never understood. The study of Hebrew, under the hand of the great Viil PREFACE. modern uia^teis of Hebrew philology, ceases to be drudge-work, but becomes a pleasure, and it is my experience at least that a thing luidcrstood is a thing re^a^■/^,cd, and that, with this principle as a guide, much of the waste of time and energy usually in- curred may be reasonably spared. Many of the views and explan- ations given in this book, as a matter of course, have been adopted fro;u others, and it is but fitting that I should acknowl- edge to have Zear?ie(^ much from EARTH {'Die JS'oniinaWildung in den semitisclien Sprachen'), boettcher {^Ausfalirliches Lehr- huclider liebr. SpracUe), driver {'A Treatise on the Use of the Tenses in Hebrew', ed. 3, which contains many points on mor- phology expressed with the usual soundness of judgment peculiar to this author), gesenius-kautzsch ('iit'lfr. Grammatik\ ed. 25; an English version, I understand, is forthcoming from the Clar- endon Press), koenig {'Ilistorish-kriiisches Lehrgehaude der Jiebr. Sprache J.' ; while this is being written, the second part has not appeared, though, unless I be misinformed, this long- expected book is sure to come out this year), lagarde ('Vbersickt ilber die im Aramdischen, Arabischen ii. Hebr. ilbliche Bildung der Nomina' and the ^Register xi. Nachtrcige'' thereto), noeldeke (e. g. ZDMG, 37, 525\ phillippi {'Wesen und Ursprung des st. cstr. im Hebr.''), spitta-bey (^Grammatik des arabischen Vidgdr- dialectes vo7i Aegy2)ten'),STA'DE{^Le}brbuch der hebr.Grammatik'' and others. Thei'e are, however,some i)oints for which I hold myself solely responsible. I hope that the particular prominence given the matter of early and later Hebrew accentuation will please schol- ars Avho, with Lagarde(l. 1., 153, 4-8), believe that this subject de- serves attention. My theory is very simple. The Hebrew lan- guage has gone through a double process of accentuation. Remn- ants of the older system are the so-called Vorton and the s^co?id- ary tone [cf. the highly instructive statement of Spitta [1.1., 59 bottom] 'dass d'U'Hauptunterschied zwischen dem altarabischen und dem modernagyptischen Accente darinbesteht, dass man heu- te in Aegypten den Hauptton avf die Silben legt, die friiher den Nebenton hatten, und umgekehrt oft den friXheren Haujiiton zum Nebenton macJW). All recession of the accent is in truth but a re- turn to its natural position. In ligature, it is the first word that PREFACE. ix bears the principal or primary tone, and not the second which, as a rule, is the much shorter one. — In collecting the examples, I was greatly aided by the grammars of Stade (for the noun), Bottcher and Konig (for the verb). In a considerable number of cases I was obliged to refer to the Concordance, and in net a few I could avail myself of my own Bibelfestigkeit, however insig- nificant it may be. All examples, so far as they are given in the main text (not in the paradigms) and are not bracketed, are found in the Bible. This book which deals only with accidence, is but the frame- work of what goes on in the class-room and presupposes all along supplementary exercises in translating from Hebrew into English and vice versa, and the study of the elements of syntax. While the study of grammar is desirable as a study of the classified phenomena of a language, the language itself in its totality must not for a moment be allowed to remain in the background. Translation from English into Hebrew should most especially be practised, for it is a well-known fact that it is much more difficult to write a language than to understand it. Such exercises are best carried out in the class-room, on the black- board, under the supervision of the teacher and the watchful eye of the whole class, or on paper in the form of tests. I hope some time in the future to publish a book containing such exercises; for the present the teacher may avail himself best of Kautzsch's 'UbungsbucJi'ied. 2, Leipzig, published by F. C. W. Vogel), A small book containing exercises in reading I may be in a position to issue within a short time, which may then be applied for at the same places where this book is to be obtained. The present method, in a less perfect shape, was tried last year in the begirmers' class of the Preparatory Department in this institution, and found to be successful. It is this circumstance, coupled with the fact that the first to encourage me in my work, while it yet was in the shape of an unseemly manuscript, was the venerable President of the Hebrew Union College, the REV. DR. ISAAC M. WISE, that prompted my recognition so inad- equately expressed at the head of this book. X PREFACE. I am also greatly indebted to two most prominent scholars, Professors MORRIS J ASTRO W JR., of the university of PENN- SYLVANIA, and GEORGE F. MOORE, of the ANDOVER THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, who::e advice I sought and promptly obtained, for their kind encouragement and for some very valuable suggestions which have served in no small degree to enhance the value of tie method, Prof. Jastrow also kindly read the greater part of the proof-sheets. In conclusion I wish to say that I consider myself under great obligation to my brother-in-law, Mr. Abraham Ginsberg, at who^e printing establishment this book was printed and to whose efforts mainly its neat appearance and the comparative absence in it of gross typographical ciTors are due. May this book, the product of more than a year's hard labor, in spite of its imperfections, be given a fair tiial and contribute its share toward a better understanding and a truer knowledge of the Bible.

A SUMMARY. A. CONSONANTS. LXXVII. THE ASPIRATED PRONUNCIATION OF nQ3-in. The explosive mutes 3, J, T, 3, s, T) (i. e. all except the emphatic sounds), when preceded by a vowel, are aspirated, i. e. after the opening of the organs, the glottis remains in its po- sition for a short while during which the remaining air produces a breathing. In course of time, the aspirated mutes pass into fricative sounds (3, 18 ff. ). LXXVIII. THE SIMPLE AND EXTENDED PRONUN- CIATION OF CONSONANTS. 1, Every syllable originally ends in a vowel (5, 10), i. e. after eac^h vowel a stop is made to allow the organs of speech to perform those operations which are necessary for the sounding of the following consonant. Occasionally the stop is made after the organs have assumed their new position (have been closed or brought near one another), and just before they are opened. The time spent on this mode of consonantal pronunciation may be twice as much as that employed in the simjile sounding of a consonant. The impression which the extended (emphasis- ed, sharpened) pronunciation makes upon our ear is that of repe- tition or doubling (6, 6 ff.). 2. The extended pronunciation of a consonant may be due a. to formative reasons: 87, 12 f.; 133, 17f,; b. to the desire of increasing the volume of a word: 66, 14 flF. 19 ff.; 68, 15flf. ; c. to the contraction of identical consonants: 14, 4f.; 18, 8^. 19; 32, 11; d. to the assimilation of consonants (cf. LXXIX); e. to the suppression of a following (cf. LXXX, 7) or preceding (ib.. 5 note) n; f. to the desire of preventing the absorption of a semivowel or its passat^e into a mere breathing (x): K'8, 8ff. (cf. LXXXI, 2); g. or of preserving a short vowel in its purity, i. e. preventing its production (cf. LXXXV, 4), reduction (ib. 5) or 138 LXXIX. ASSIMILATION OF CONSONANTS. modification (ib. 11 ); h. or of making the Zoss (cf. LXXXVI) of a following vowel impossible: 49, 18 f.; 69, 3; i. to euphony: 13, 8; 58, 5 f.;33, 13; 34, 9. 3. Certain consonants are not capable of being extended, viz. the lingual i and the gutturals in the following order: X, ]}, n, n. Cf. 11, 32; 61, 12 ff. n and n retained their capability of extension for a longer time than the rest; wherever, in the later stage of the language, we find them pronounced siviphj (without effecting a change in the preceding vowel, cf. LXXXIV, 3), we have a case of lost doubling). 4. The following consonants, if followed by a reduced vow- el, equally admit of no doubling (cf. ib.); a. the emphatic sound p (49, 13=); b. the sibilants (Q: 80, 5^; K': 83, 13^ ^'': 73, 5^ V: H, 19'); c. the se?ni-vowels •• (11, 31; cf . 19, 9) and 1 (26, 3'); d. the liquids ^ (11, 19^), o (ib., 20'; cf. 19, 9) and j (73, 5>). Note cases like 59, IG^ 74, 19^ . 5. No consonant standing at the end of a word (a syllable), can be doubled: 66, 16 f. LXXIX. ASSIMILATION OF CONSONANTS. 1. The dental nasal 3 and, in some cases, the lingual 7 are not sounded in certain forms, when they are found in the middle of a word and, in consequence of the loss of the vowel following upon them (cf. LXXXVI), come to stand at the end of the syl lable; the time which was to be spent on their pronunciation is employed in placing the organs in the position required by the fo]lov,4ng consonant which is anticipated. The latter is sounded doubly (cf, LXXVIII,1); hence the impression that the liquid has been replaced by a sound similar to the following consonant, or assimilated to it. 13, 7^ 19'; 43, 19^ 48, 5'; 76, 5flf.; 78, 7'. IS'. 3P. — 11,9 f.; 79, 11"; 80, 13'. The liquid may exceptionally remain unassimilated: 48, 4; 77, 3'; 78, 20^ It is, as a rule, not assimilated, when the following consonant is a guttural: 76, 19 ff.but 13, 9f.; 79, 15'. 2. Real assimilation, which is due to the anticipation of the following cognate consonant (T, T, t2, tJ'. J U takes place with the dentals 1 and ri (the latter as augment of the T reflexive); the LXXX. DISAPPEARANCE OF CONSONANTS. 139 further result is contraction of the identical consonants (cf. LXXVIII, 2 c): 16, 11. 42 14; 62, 17' ; 73, 13^ 79,18^ n exception- ally assimilated to the palatal D : 43, 21. With D or K' as first radical, the form hiqtattala is preferred, because the passage in pronunciation from a sibilant to a dental explosive is easier than the reverse: 12, 14 f.; with the emphatic :;, n in addition ia transformed into the emphatic ti {partial assimilation). LXXX. DISAPPEARANCE (ABSORPTION) OF CONSONANTS. 1. N, between two short vowels, is often absorbed by the vowel-complex surrounding it; the result is contraction of ident- ical vowels (cf. LXXXII, 1) or formation of diphthongs in the case of dissimilar vowels (cf. ib. 2}. 12, 11; 81, 13; 4^ 14. 22'. 12, 12; 84, 12. Cf. LXXXI, 2. 3. K, following upon an unaccented (reduced) vowel, is readily (but not necessarily) suppressed together with the latter: 13, 15 f. 31'; 83, 3^ 7'; 84, 14'; 83, U^ 89, 4'. The suppressed sound may and may not be retained in spelling: 81, 14; 82, 17. 3. K, at the end of a word or syllable (the following vowel namely having disappeared, cf. LXXXVI), i^ unexceptionally lost in pronunciation: the closed syllable is tlius opened. 81, 16 f . 4. N, at the beginning of a syllable [in the middle of a word)? preserves its consonantal [guttural] character: 81, 18ff. The ex- ceptions are few in number, and, in each case, the K is preceded by a closed syllable: 82, 2 ff.; 83, 13=. 5. X, at the beginning of a word, is always consonantal. Note the singular case 83, 15 f. 6. n, between two short vowels, or preceded by a reduced vowel, is suppressed in certain prefixes (preformatives, augment) and suffixes. The vowels, or, in the other case, the reduced vowel, undergo the changes indicated above (^under 1 and 3). 12, 15; 15, 15; 16, 2; 40, IP; 41, 2'; 43, 9^; 43, 18. Note cases like 16, 11; 46, 7. 7. n, preceded by a closed syllable,emphasises, if suppressed, 140 LXXXI. SEMIVOWELS. tlie consonant upon which it follows: 18, 9; 48, 5'; 44, 14 f.

In the absolute state and in the verb with- out suffixes, the n. because originally unaccented, as a rule is dropped and, as a consequence, the closed syllable is opened: 26, 17 f.; 31, 10. n exceptionally preserved: 84,11''; 110, 17.

The labial 1 is rarely preserved at the beginning of a word (cf. 12, 17) or syllable (cf. 96, 4''); as a rule, the palatal ^ takes its place: 90, 4 ff.; 92, 16'; 93, 19'; 94, 20. Double 1 is pre- served (with some slight exceptions) in the impf. tense-stem of the N reflexive of verbs first 1 (95, 5"), while elsewhere (101, 11; 108, 9) it is replaced by \ 2. A semivowel, standing between two full vowels, passes into a mere breathing (x). The latter may be preserved (108, 4^); but, as a rule, especially when standing between two vowels of the stem, it is subject to absorption (cf. LXXX, 1). 98, 7; 100, 10'; 101, 4f.; 114, 12. 93, Iff.; 98, 13; 100,2 0. 98,15; 101, 2'. 98, 18. Sometimes the semivowel (^) is preserved by being doubl- ed (cf. LXXVIII, 2 f): 108, 8 ff.; Ill, 13=. 3. A semivowel which closes a syllable (the following vowel having disappeared) is turned into its corresponding (cognate, homogeneous) vowel, 1 into u and ^ into i . 91, 3 ff.; 94, 16'; 97,16. 97, 5 f . ; 104, 23. If the preceding vowel be u or i, 1 is absorbed by the former and ^ by the latter (in most cases the lost vowel was the same as that which precedes the semivowel, so that we act- vially have here the fact indicated above under 2). 12, 13; 13, 3*; 38, 15'; 93, 9; 97, 8; 102, 5'; 105, 11; 106, 5; 108, 2. — 94, 16=; 98, LXXXII, ORIGIN OF LONG WOVELS. 141 2; 100, 11"; 107, 19.

B. VOWELS. LXXXII. ORIGIN OF LONG VOWELS. 1. Long vowels owe their quantity either to formative motives: 14, 13. 17; 72, 3; 133, 16, or to the contraction of two consecutive identical vowels (cf. LXXX, 1 ; LXXXI, 2) respectively to the absorption of a semivowel by its cognate vowel (cf. LXXXI, 3). Thus aa = a, [ii,] iy = i, [uu,]= H. The vowel-complex ii, at a later stage when it is sounded ee (cf. LXXXV, 6), is contracted to e: 13, 12 ; 84, 12; 85, 8^ Cases of contraction resulting in a short vowel are exceptional: 12. lU; 119, 10^ Iy = e (respectively e): llO, 20^ 114, 16^ (cf. Ill, 1). 2. Diphthongs are two dissimilar vowels spoken without an intervening stop. They may be original (formative: 17, 10; 18, 13) or derived, i. e. due to the anticipation (epenthesis) of a vowel belonging to the following syllable (aik=aki: 15, 14), or to the fact described LXXXI, 3. Diphthongs are contracted in Hebrew into tTieir intermediate single sounds (monophthongs): au = 6, ai = e (91, 5 ff.; 93, 4 ff.; exceptionally ai = a: 16, 11; 129, 12 f.). Less frequently diphthongs are resolved into their constituent elements (104, 22), by analogy, it seems, also in cases like 17, 10; 18, 13 where the diphthong is original. LXXXIIL MODIFICATION OF LONG VOWELS AND CHANGE OF QUANTITY. 1. t and A are always preserved in their purity, while A, wliich requires the tongue to be in its normal or indifferent po- 113 LXXXIII. MODIFICATION OF LONG VOWELS. sition, as a rule, shows a tendency towards a pronunciation with rounded mouth (narrowed opening of the lips). Thus a in most cases is rounded too: 13, 19; 18, 1, 18; 25, 4. IG; 71, 8. 20; 81, 13; 83, 22-'; 84, 17=; 101, 5; 103, 12». Wherever a is preserved in its purity (of. bl, 15), it may sometimes be due to tlie principle of differentiation (of. 100, 10' and "); where no such principle is discernible, it is the business of the lexicographer to ascertain in each case, whether the word goes back to the period of the pu>-e pronunciation of a, or it is one of those which, in the latest form- ative stage of Hebrew, were introduced from Aramaic wliere tlie tendency towards a rounded pronunciation of a is unknown. 2. E maybe flattened to i (114, 15") or widened to e (109, 17; 110, 20=; 112, 1'; 114. 16^). 3. E is also found widened to e before the guttural n (16, 13) and the palatal 2 (ib. 7) . 4. O may furthermore be rounded to Hi, especially if the next syllable contain the former {dissimilation of vowels, of. LXXXV, 14): 91, 12; 93, 19; 99, 9^ 103, 12^ For the same reason 6 and ti are replaced by i (if the laws of formation permit that vowel) before afollowing 6: 121, 17 f. 5. Long vowels are not tolerated in closed syllable at the beginning or in the middle of a word (doubly closed syllable), but must change their quantity. The resultant short vowel is subject to the laws governing the modification of short vowels (cf. LXXXV, 6.9). 40, 13; 98 9^ 16; 100, 10'; 101, 8. 6. Long vowels are also shortened, if unaccented: 45, 12. 19; 114, 12. 7. Change of quantity in long vowels is often due to the principle of false analogy (the long vowel being falsely taken for a produced vowel and then subjected to the laws of vocalic pro- duction, cf. ib., passim): L9, 16'^; 83, 5 f.; 105, n^; 106, 1^; 113, 8. 8. Sometimes the quantity changes for formative reasons: 134, 3f. LXXXIV. COMPENSATIVE PRODUCTION OF SHORT VOWELS. 1. In the case of a consonant not being sounded (cf. LXXIX, 1), especially if the following consonant is not capable of being doubled Ccf. LXXVIII, 3), or simply in case of omitted doubling LXXXIV. COMPENSATIVE PRODUCTION. 143 (ib.)j the time which was to be spent on the lost consonant, is employed in extending [drawing out, lengthening) or producing the vowel preceding it. Thus a = a (11, 22 f.; 12, 18; 19, 11 f.; 55, 2*; 56, IP; 61, 15; 62, 17=; 69, 6'), i(e) = e (13, 19=; 55, 4^ 59, 14.1; 61, 12'^ 75, 2=), u(o) = (5G, 5=: 62, 16 f.). 2. Wherever the omission of consonantal doubling does not ojjen the preceding syllable (as in the case indicated LXXVIII, 5), i and u = e and 5 (67, 6\ 9'; the vowel is shortened again in ligature, cf . LXXXV, 10 ), but a, as a rule, remains unproduced (66, 17; a exceptionally produced ib. 18^), evidently because in closed syllable. 3. In cases like those indicated LXXIX, 4, the vowel is never produced (42, 22— an exceptional case J; so also in case of lost doubling (LXXIX, 3). 4. Because this kind of vocalic production presupposes the loss of a consonant respectively the omission of consonantal doublinfjf, the impression is gained that its purpose is the compen- sation of the loss of a sound, and is therefore commonly called compensative production. LXXXV. PRODUCTION, REDUCTION AND MODIFICATION OF SHORT VOWELS. 1. The changes of short vowels which will be described in the following pages, are due partly to the stress of the accent respectively its absence, partly to syllabic conditions and conson- antal surroundings. 2. The accent of which we speak here, may be either the original or natural accent Cqa'tal[a], qat'tal[a], ya'subb[u], na'qam[a] etc.), or the modern or rhythmic (qatal', qattal', yasubb', naqam' etc.). The vocalic changes may be due to either (yas5B' etc.), while those coming from the time of the natural accent, could no longer be affected by the shifting of the tone. 8. ACCENTED SHORT VOWELS IN OPEN SYLLABLE ARE PRODUCED (cf. LXXXIII, 1). Thus a'=a(12, 8; 33, 3f. ; 56, 7^33, 8), i'(e') = e(49, 4'; 68, 17^ 14, 2f.; 23, 5^ 36, 2; 116, 1»), u'(o )=d (53, 20. 23, 6; 34, l''}. E exceptionally \\ddened to e: 90, 7'. In an older period, sometimes also in consequence of false analogy, we find a' = a = 6 (71, 8=), i'=:i (40, 7 f.; 102, 5 ff.), u' = ii 144 LXXXV. PRODUCTION, REDUCTION (74, 4'). Production is sometimes, though very rarely, neglected; 44, 20 (with a under the stress of the modern accent). 4. In the absolute (and construct, wherever of the same form) state of so-called monosyllabic nouns (cf. as to their or igin LXXVI, 11) of the form qatl (nominal formation 1) and in the jussive and shortened imperative forms of verbs third l(^) in the causative stem (116, 4. 6), a, instead of being produced to a, is flattened to e (23, 1; note, however, a before 1 : 97, 18; note also a 107, 19 as over against unproduced [perhaps because preceding an originally doubled n, cf. below under 5] a 118, 16^). The i in the absol. of the form qitl (nom. form. 2) is regularly produced, viz. to e (23, 5); while the corresponding verbal forms in the simple stem show also cases of neglected production (115, 19 f.). The reason for such neglect of produc- tion seems to be the feeling that, because the last syllable contains only the faint (colorless) remnant of a vowel, the first is not an open syllable of the kind usually to be met with : hence also with the vowel a, the tendency towards flattened pronunciation. 5. Production may be avoided by an artificial closing of the syllable in which the originally accented short vow^el is found (cf. as to the principle involved, below under 11), viz. by the sharpening of the following consonant (especially if the latter be a liquid, dental or one of the stronger gutturals). 12, 6; 24, 9'. 11; 26, 6^ 29, 18^ 52, 2=; 54, 11'; 55, 1^ 74, 19'. 20^ 6. UNACCENTED SHORT VOWELS IN OPEN SYLLABLE AREEEDUO- ED, i. e. half the time of what is spent on the sounding of a short vowel is employed in their pronunciation. Syllables containing reduced vowels are but half -syllables which are joined in speech to the one following them. As a rule,the reduced vowel is so in- distinctly spoken that it resembles most the vowel e, and is there- fore transcribed e. 12, 14; 23, 3'; 31, 20'; 33, 13^ 36, 3. 8; 49, 10'; 79, 6'; 85, 2^; 99, 13. With certain consonants (gutturals [55, 14*], emphatic sounds [34, 8^]) or between two identical conson- ants [67, 17f.], the reduced vowel retains more of its original (or assumed, in accordance with the laws of vocalic modification, cf. below under 12 j coloring, and is transcribed respectively a, e and o. • AND MODIFICATION OF SHORT VOWELS. 145 7. ORiaiNAXLT ACCENTED SHORT VOWELS IN (FIRMLY OR LOOSELY} CLOSED SYLLABLE REMAIN SHORT: 23, 2^ A*. With the shifting of the tone in the later period of the language, however, they are subjected to certain modifications which are largely due to the nature of the preceding or following consonant. If the syllable be at the beginning of the word, a, as a rule, is flat- tened to i (13, 13; 34, 1; 26, 4; 33, 11; 43, 14') or e with gutturals in certain cases, especially N (58, 17'; 59, IP. 33,4; 43, 2P; 57, 15), sometimes also before palatals (76, 8'; 95, 18^), and retained, as a rule, with gutturals (12, 9'; 50, 5«; 51, A*; 53, 12ff.; 57, 13f.; 60, 2; 89, 7^ 117, 7^) [cf. 58, 6^ 7'; 59, 2']; iwith gutts. shortened to e (50, 12=; 52, 20>; 53, 9'; 74, 17^ 84, 7'; 115, IP); u shortened to o (23, 2'; 24, 17') and retained before a cognate (labial) con- sonant (23, 9; 58, 2'; 82, 8"). In the middle of a word, a remains unchanged (note an exception 95, 10): 31, 16; i, as a rule, it re- placed by a (36, 5; note an exception 93, 16^) and u shortened to o (36, 10). The same laws hold good with such vowels (in the same position) as never were accented, except that i then very often is shortened to e (25, 19^49, 10'; after gutturals e and a may be found in the place of i (63, 13ff.) which is retained regu- larly before a following ^ (its cognate semivowel, 106, 3) and ex- ceptionally elsewhere (especially before sibilants, 49, 13'), while before gutturals (especially k[ 83, 2') it is replaced by a in certain forms (66, 3^), and in others, under the stress of the original ac- cent, produced to e (ib. 3^). 8. Short vowels in closed syllable at the end of a word reveal, under the stress of the modern accent, the workings of a law ob- served above (L XXXIV, 2) in reference to compensative produc- tion of short vowals in the same position. Thus a remains un- produced (so in middle a verbs: 31, 19; the production in nomin- al formations with a in the last syllable [e. g. 23, 15] is duetotlie principle of differentiation; note exceptions: 53, 7'; 56, 20), i is produced to e (in the noun regularly: 24. 5', so also in the verb: 36, 2, where, however, very often e is replaced bv a: 37, 2'; 38, 12'; 68, 1; 71, IP; 74, 1'; 84, 1'; 73, 6' [; note 114, H] and excep- tionally by e: 38, 13') and u to 6 (both in verb and noun: 24, 8'; 3f>, 7; note the singular cases 14, 1*; 58, 2' where, as it seems, through i as a medium, u is shortened to e). 148 LXXXV. PRODUCTION, REDUCTION 9. Short vowels in closed syllable in the middle of a word (in doubly closed syllable), when under the stress of the modern accent, on the whole testify to the truth of the law as stated un- der 8. It is a noteworthy fact that the final syllable of nouns (with an originally short vowel at the close) in the construct state is, for purposes as the one before us, regarded as doubly closed (the reason evidently being this, that the noun in the con- struct state [the governing noun] and the one in the genitive case immediately following it [the noun governed] are logically one). Thus a remains short (31, 11; 23, IG), i oftener appears as a than was the case above (3(), 4; 38, 2'; 4-», 7^ 43, 19"; 93, 10'), though cases are not wanting where the regular production of i to e may be witnessed (24, IV; 38, 2=; 74, 3'; 75, 3'; 92, 15), and finally u is regularly produced to 6 (36, 9; 24, 8'). With the shifting of the accent, the vowels come under the rule given above under 7 (cf. 63, 18*). Observe the effect on open syllables: 86, 3*. 10. In the present system of Hebrew accentuation it fre. quently happens that for certain reasons the accent recedes to, or rather resumes, its natural position. Thus it is against the laws of Hebrew euphony to allow two accented syllables (the final syllable of the first, and the first [penult] of the second word) to follow closely upon one another. Again two words may be joined together as one, with one common accent on the second which, as a rule, is the much shorter one, and a secondary tone on the first, coinciding with its original accent. The final syllable of the first word, if closed, comes, by the very nature of the case, under the category of such vowels in closed syllable as never were accented (cf . above under 7 end) where there is no occasion for vocalic production. Thus a remains unchanged (32, 12> ; 32, 12"), i appears as e (44, 3'. 1^ 78, 7'; 24, IP) and u as o (71, 17"; 24, 17'). Note i exceptionally retained before a sib- ilant (73, 7") and u before a labial (71, 17=). Note also 74, 14" but 75, 9". Observe the effect on open syllables: 87, 3". 11. Sharpened syllables are, for matters of vocalic changes of the nature described in this lesson, regarded as closed (or rather doubly closed, for they are only possible at the beginning or middle of a word, cf . LXXVIII, 5). Hence, if AND MODIFICATION OF SHORT VOWELS. 147 coinciding with the place of the modern accent, the vowel a with them must remain unchanged (70, 17'), i appears as a (73, 6') and e (73, 14i) and u always as 5 (70, 7). Originally accented sharpened syllables do not allow their vowels, with the shifting of the accent, to undergo the modifications mentioned above under 7; with slight exceptions (a flattened to i [67, 1"; 71, 10] and u shortened to o after gutturals [58, 12'] ), they retain their pure sounds (cf. 69, 7'. IP). Hence the doubling of a con- Bonant in such conditions the best means for shielding short vowels, whether against production (cf. above under 5)^ reduc- tion (28, 17^) or modification (51, 9' compared with ib. 9^). 13. The influence of gutturals upon surrounding vowels has been touched upon in the preceding paragraphs. A few eupplementary words will suffice. The vowel a readily associates itself with gutturals as their cognate vowel, especially in the case of the vowel preceding the gutt. : 57, 13*. Such is the ease with which a is spoken before gutts., that it is regularly inserted before a guttural (except K which rather repudiates a, showing often a marked preference for e: 57, 15) closing a word and preceded by a heterogeneous vowel: 56, 1 f . Thus the gutts. shield an original a against modification. I is replaced in the verb by a, if preceding the gutt. (65, 9 ff.), but remains unaf fected by the latter in certain nominal forms (65, 16'), or if following the gutt. (60, 21^; 63, 9'). U is equally replaced by a in the verb (60, 16'; cf. especially u as first vowel of the stem to a with first gutts.: 57, 17. 19), while in nominal forms it re- mains unaffected (65, 14'; cf. 63, 10 f.). The faint vowel in the second syllable of the nominal formations 1—3 in the absolute for construct) state, appears as a with gutts. in the second or third place of the root (57, 19'; note e with «: 81, 18'). A gut- tural preceding an unaccented short vowel in an open syllable, causes the reduced vowel to retain something of its original coloring: a thus appears as a (50, 6 f.), i as a (ib. 13^) or e (especially with N : 52, 3), u, as a rule, as o (50, 17 f.), but also as a (57, 19') respectively as e with x (ib.'). 13. As the syllabic accent of a word, so does the accent which a word receives by virtue of its position at the end of a 148 LXXXVI. DISAPrEARANCE OF VOWELS. smaller or larger complex of sentences (the pausal accent) effect the production of the accented short vowel, independently of the syllabic conditions in which it is found. It may be worthy of notice that e of a non-pausal form is represented by a in the corresponding pausal form (cf. 44, 1'; 66, 10^), which fact should help to understand the frequent occurrence of a in cases where e is expected (cf. above under 8—9). 14. Examples of vocalic modification through assimil- ation are less frequent (a to i : 38, 8; 40, 8 f . and e respectively o : 12, 9) than of such due to vocalic dissimilation (a to e : 15, 13'; 45, 1^ 15, 13'; 19, 15 f.; 20, 7; 55, 1'; 55, 14'; 63, 18'; 69, 4^ 71, 9 f. ; 86, 1'; 79, 18*; note that the intervening consonant is, as a rule, a guttural or the palatal 3; cf. also 74, 8'; 100, 11«3. LXXXVI. DISAPPEARANCE OF (SHORT) VOWELS. 1. Owing to the stress of the original accent, it hap- pens that, in completely developed triliterals (respectively polyliterals), one of the vowels of the stem disappears. The loss maybe total, and, as a consequence, the preceding consonant is joined to the antecedent syllable which becomes ^rmZi/ closed, or partial, when some faint remnant of the vowel is left and the antecedent syllable is loosely closed. In all cases, it seems, total disappearance of a vowel presupposes a period when the vowel was not ivholly lost. 2. At the end of a word, total loss is the only thing possible (31, 9; 32, 21). To this category belong also the lost case-endings in the noun (14, 13ff.;cf. 17, 13 f.). 3. The middle vowel of the stem is not ivholly lost in cert- ain forms of the imperative (34, 17; 48, 10) and in the inflection of the nominal formations 7-9 (cf. 48, 19; 49, 7"), also in those forms of the plural of the formations 1-5 which had the original accent on the first vowel of the stem (cf. 23, 5*), A full vowel or, at least, the remnant of such may be seen in cases where the next vowel is either totally lost or reduced (23, 1; 53, W). Total loss is the rule in the singular forms of formations 1-3 with suffixes (23, 2'; cf. also 23, 7^; 116, l\ 80, 21; 118, 9'). The final LXXXVI. DISAPPEARANCE OF VOWELS 149 stem vowel is also f of aZZy lost before consonantal afformatives (32, V), but retained, in reduced form, with third gutts. (65, 2V). 4. The first vowel of the stem is totally lost in nominal or verbal forms with preformatives or augments bearing the original accent (26, 4; 33, 11; 36, 12; 40, 21; 41, 2); it may be retained (in a reduced form, and as a full vowel, if followed by a reduced vowel) with first gutts. (52, IS.; 57, 13'. 18; 58, 6'. 18'; 59, 5. 12^); elsewhere it is occasionally retained by an artificial sharpening of the preceding consonant (49, 18 f.j. TABLE OF REFERENCES TO STANDARD GRAMMARS.
