| Abstract | substantives from stative roots: * urk> re ‘length’, *gudl> g el ‘greatness’, * usk> še ‘darkness’, *yusr> y šer ‘uprightness’, * umq> meq ‘depth’, * u r> šer ‘wealth’, *rugz> r ez ‘agitation’. Verbal substantives from active roots, denoting the result of the verbal action: * ukl> el ‘food (what is [to be] eaten)’, * umr> mer ‘speech’. Perhaps the original form of the verbal substantive of certain other verbs, preserved in, and regularized as, the sf. form of the Qal Infin. cst.: qo l-; see *qa l, below, §B.3.a. Fem. *qu l-at: qo l (occasionally qu l , especially before a labial), cst. qo la , sf. qo l -; pl. / q t l /q t l , cst. qo l . Isolated substantive: * url-at> orl ‘foreskin’. Verbal substantives: * ukl-at> o l ‘food’, * ukm-at> o m ‘wisdom’, * urb-at> orb ‘ruin’, * uhr-at> oh r ‘purification’, * um -at> um ‘uncleanness’, *qur at> qor ‘baldness’, *rugz-at> ro z ‘quivering’. (2a) II– : *qu l: q l, sometimes q ( )l, qôl. *bu r> bôr, and Kt , ‘pit’. *bu s> b š ‘stench’, *mu d> m ‘muchness’. [ l m ‘people (gathering?)’ is probably a *qu ull form; see §D.d, below.] But note also *tu r> t ar ‘form’, like other II–G. Fem.: *bu s-at> bo š ‘noxious weeds’. (2b) Other II–G: q Gal. *pu l> p al ‘deed’, *ru b> r a ‘width’; II–h: *muhr> m har ‘bride-price’, *suhm> š ham ‘carnelian(?)’; but * uhl> hel, pl. * uhal ma > / / h lîm, *buhn> b hen ‘thumb’. (3) II–w: > *q l, q.v., above. (4) III–G: q aG. * ur > ra ‘way (going)’, *gubh> g ah ‘height’. 36. As with *qi l > q l (see above, n. 30), it may be that *qu l regularly > [q l], which was hypercorrected to q l by the Massoretes in most instances. 37. Since the cognates of hel and m har are qa l forms (e.g., Arab. ahl, Akk. lu; Arab. mahr, Syriac mahr ), it is also possible, though less likely, that the ancestors of the Hebrew forms were likewise qa l forms, in which however the medial h ceased to be pronounced, with compensatory lengthening of the a to , followed by the action of the Canaanite shift; i.e., * ahl> * l> [ l] and *mahr> *m r> [m r] (cf. the development of *ra s> r š, above), later hypercorrected to [ hel] and [m har] with reinsertion of the h in a spelling-pronunciation. Cf. also above on qu l forms II– such as |
