Pseudo historical fabrications of "little doubt".

Tiberian Hebrew tradition was the tradition spoken a thousand years after
Biblical Hebrew ceased being the daily language of the people, spoken at
the hearth and in the market. But like medieval Latin, Hebrew continued to
be used for official documents and in cultic affaires, while at the same
time being influenced by the languages surrounding it. I think there is
little doubt that the Tiberian pronunciation doesn’t represent Biblical era
pronunciation.
