I think it was Abba ben-David, in his book Leshon Miqra u-Leshon
Hakhamim, Tel-Aviv, Devir, 1967-71, who suggested that many of the
everyday words appearing in the Mishna were actually in use in Biblical
Hebrew as well, but, because of the limited corpus and subject matter of
the Bible, they were simply not included.
Sincerely,
