"baramin" - bad grammar in Hebrew
A baramin is a creationist "created kind", all organisms that are descended from some specially-created ancestor. The word was coined from Hebrew bara ("created", like in Genesis 1:1) and min ("kind", "species"). But that word is bad grammar in Hebrew. Proper ...

Re: Phoenician tenses.
There's also a difference in root structure. Semitic languages have a triconsonant root structure with lots of variations in its vowels to express various meanings. Indo-European roots are biconsonantal with one varying vowel. IE ablaut has varying amounts of survival in the attested IE languages. A...

Re: Phoenician tenses.
The verb system of Phoenician is very simple, easier then Greek and Latin because its very English. ... Nonsense. Check out Phoenician language - Wikipedia -- as far as can be determined, Phoenician was very close to Biblical Hebrew. That goes for its grammar as well as for its vocabulary. Here is ...

Re: Phoenician tenses.
If people can read the Roman-alphabet then they can read the parent alphabet, Ancient Latin was written in a more Phoenician like script. (...) The Roman alphabet is derived from the Greek one, and though I know the Greek one, it is necessary to learn it separately. The Phoenician alphabet I don't ...

In any case, I thought of summarizing the verb systems of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, but I gave up. They are too different. I didn't want to give a detailed i...

Re: Phoenician tenses.
Try using some Roman-alphabet transcription. There aren't many of us who can read the Phoenician alphabet. Also, I don't think that I have the patience to give a complete introduction to Indo-European and Semitic linguistics. It should be obvious that Phoenician and Hebrew are much closer to Arabic,...

Re: In the beginning, God separated?
I was using Tanach (JPS): Genesis: Genesis Chapter 1 from 1917. Seems like it was revised from standalone in 1917 to adverbial in 1989.
