1. In what ways did Arabic influence Tiberian pronunciation?

2. Are the Masoretic gutturals modeled after Arabic gutturals?

3. Is there an online site than anyone is aware of that one may hear or
learn Arabic pronunciation?

4. Could someone explain Harris' maxim, "Phonemes are not remembered once
they cease to exist [i.e. to be pronounced] in a dialect." (Z. Harris
Development of the Canaanite Dialects, p.63).

5. How did the Masoretes determine the pronunciation of the gutturals?
