@JoALandeta Also check out Chee-Chiew Lee's article in JSOT 36 no. 3 (2011-2012): 467-482. We came to the same conclusion independently and have complementary discussions of the topic. Hope it helps!

Back home after a great Hebrew Discourse Conference (https://t.co/7JnEbYbWA9) at Dallas International University! Shout out especially to @scacewater and @JoAnnaMHoyt for organizing such an excellent conference. Thanks also to all the presenters for their interesting papers.

[JoAnna M. Hoyt @JoAnnaMHoyt]

Yesterday's Hebrew Discourse Conference was a rousing success! 125 participants (1/2 in person), 18 papers, a plenary on the history and future of the field by @BenjaminJNoonan, and a panel discussion.
Today we're resting.
Tomorrow we start planning for the next one. :)

@dougsmith1977 @DiscoverCIU @ColumbiaBiblic1 @drjohnmeade @etsjets It was great, as always, to have you on campus, Doug!

[Benjamin Noonan @BenjaminJNoonan]

@dougsmith1977 is presenting today at the Southeast Meeting of ETS: “Teaching with the Te’amim: How the Masoretic Accents Can Foster Fluency for Reading Biblical Hebrew.” Come attend Doug’s paper and learn how to practically apply the Masoretic accents to Hebrew pedagogy!

@ColumbiaBiblic1 Looking forward to having Dr. John Meade on campus next week to present on the canon and textual transmission of Scripture! @drjohnmeade

@ArmalyRimon @cjfresch @michaelgaubrey @drchiphardy I hope it will be out in the next year or so, but I am not sure.

[Benjamin Noonan @BenjaminJNoonan]

Happy International Septuagint Day!

@cjfresch @michaelgaubrey @drchiphardy In addition to what's found in Advances in the Study of Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic, I have a forthcoming chapter on "Hebrew Linguistic Schools" I could share.

@JamesBejon @EphraimAyil We don’t know it’s exact origin. I argue it’s a culture word in my book, as do a number of others.

[Benjamin Noonan @BenjaminJNoonan]

@JamesBejon @EphraimAyil Thanks for your thoughts. I ask because the pattern is one other consideration in determining whether this word is native to Semitic or possibly a loan.

[Benjamin Noonan @BenjaminJNoonan]

@JamesBejon @EphraimAyil James, what do you think about the vocalic/morphological pattern of חלמישׁ? I'd be interested to hear what you think, especially in light of what you've found in Arabic.

[Benjamin Noonan @BenjaminJNoonan]

@JamesBejon @EphraimAyil Yes, that’s a good possibility. Good potential parallel.
