For a while in the 80's it appeared that Eblaite was going to be the 
next Ugaritic, shedding tons of light on our knowledge of Hebrew.  
But as far as I can see, upon the passing of Mitchell Dahood, 
things sort of faded out.  What's the latest (if anything) on this 
language and the things it might be able to teach us about b-
Hebrew?  Can anyone suggest a fairly recent bibliography on the 
subject and perhaps offer a short overview of what progress has 
been made since Dahood?  Items in English, French, German and 
Modern Hebrew will work for me..
Thanks,

Dave Washburn
