The niche-ness of these statistics continue to blow my mind

My private messages are doing odd things at the moment, and a whole bunch of unread ones seem to have disappeared. Anyone having similar issues? (Please resend your messages if I’m not responding.)

The first word God says to Adam after his fall is ayyekkah (איכה)—‘Where are you?’.

God knows the answer; it is a word of lament & loneliness.

It involves the same consonants as the first word Jeremiah says after Jerusalem’s fall—eychah (איכה) ‘How?’—the key word of Lament/ns.

@AlCabbage045 @likethemagician @OlaWikander I’m not sure that one does get from one to the other. If I recall, Roman Gundacker has a paper on this that’s probably on his https://t.co/c6BSjll0fy site. He argues that the Arma’a-ish form is a hypocorism rather than the result of sound changes.

@Jdonttalktoo @OCIANA_OSU @IASArabia Maybe the left hand is <l-d?s²…bn ṣʿb>?

[James Bejon @JamesBejon]

@Jdonttalktoo @OCIANA_OSU @IASArabia Hmmm…where are you reading that? The left hand letters?

I’m wondering if the right hand letters start <l- lyh bn…>

I’m really getting nowhere with it though.

Some memories and thoughts on the third year since 7 October and the Al-Aqsa Flood attacks.

Jonah’s descent into the sea, deliverance from the fish, and mission to Nineveh tell Israel’s story in miniature.

@KieranGreen2003 Thank you. I’m appreciative of your decision. Such decisions can be difficult when you’ve devoted a lot of time and effort to something. It can become a bit like a sunken cost fallacy. I pray that you’ll be able to find a less conflicting cause to support.
