Dear list,

does anybody have ideas/information on the use of article with GN’s in the OT? Do we understand the rules or details of this use apart from the obvious (and correct?) suggestion that GN’s whose etymology was vividly felt by the native speakers (hayyarden, ha:ra:ma:, etc.) were supplied with the article more easily than those whose relationship to common nouns was no longer transparent to the Sprachgefuel?
