Contrary to many previous approaches, Benjamin Suchard shows that these developments can all be described as phonetically regular sound laws. This confirms that despite its unique transmission history, Hebrew behaves like other languages in this regard. Many Hebrew sound changes have traditionally been explained as reflecting non-phonetic conditioning. These include the Canaanite Shift of *? to *?, tonic and pre-tonic lengthening, diphthong contraction, Philippi?s Law, the Law of Attenuation, and the apocope of short, unstressed vowels. By reconsidering reconstructions and re-evaluating phonetic conditions, this work shows how the Biblical Hebrew forms regularly derive from their Proto-Northwest-Semitic precursors. 410 0$aStudies in Semitic languages and linguistics ;$v99. 606 $aHebrew language$xVowels 606 $aHebrew language$xPhonology, Historical 615 0$aHebrew language$xVowels. 615 0$aHebrew language$xPhonology, Historical. 676 $a492.4 700 $aSuchard$b Benjamin D.$01494661 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 801 2$bUkOxU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826062203321 996 $aThe Development of the Biblical Hebrew vowels$93956047 997 $aUNINA
