Peter, Moshe, et al.,
The Mesha inscription shows that the DH is early? You're kidding right?
You think that a fragmentary inscription, brief, and of limited vocabulary,
is capable of bearing the comparative linguistic weight you have heaved onto
it? I disagree. You are truly comparing apples with oranges.
And Moshe, i couldn't care less about mathematics vis a vis biblical
historiography.

In short I think our problem is one of communication. You are talking about
one thing and I another. You are talking about math and I am simply
suggesting that you actually take the time to read NPL's stuff. So I have a
simple question- so that we are all on the same page- Moshe- have you read
any of Niels' stuff? Peter?

best,

Jim
