Abstract
Forms like ידורשהו, viz. qal stem prefix conjugation forms with an object suffix in which a mater lectionis indicates the presence of a rounded vowel after the first radical, constitute the only unique Qumran Hebrew morphological trait that has no parallels in other traditions of the language. In this paper, I suggest a new explanation for the development of these forms (and of orthographically similar qal stem imperatives and infinitives). While previous research tried to explain the forms as resulting from analogy, I propose that they are (by and large) the result of regular sound change: vowel deletion of the unstressed stem vowel followed by the emergence of an epenthetic copy vowel that originated in the masculine plural forms.
库姆兰希伯来语 Qal 前缀连接形式,第一根词后有 Mater w:或: הצורה אומרת תדורשני
像ידרושהו这样的形式,即带有宾语后缀的qal词干前缀连接形式,其中的mater lectionis表示在第一个部首之后有一个圆元音,构成了库姆兰希伯来语唯一独特的形态特征,在其他语言传统中没有相似之处。在本文中,我对这些形式(以及正字法上类似的 qal 干祈使句和不定式)的发展提出了新的解释。以前的研究试图将这些形式解释为类比的结果,而我则认为它们(大体上)是有规律的声音变化的结果:非重音词干元音被删除,随后出现了源自阳性复数形式的外音复制元音。
