Misnaic Hebrew and Its Relation to Biblical Hebrew and to Aramaic

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The services of this scholar to Semitic philology have not yet received the recognition which they richly deserve. For though many of his etymologies may be fanciful and far-fetched, he has nevertheless succeeded in restoring to the Semitic vocabulary a large number of words hitherto held to be of foreign derivation, and, in the case of many others, in at least reopening the question of their etymology for further discussion.
