Just out of curiousity (MEOW MEOW MEOW)  how many of you in here work with 
the paleo-hebrew (Pictographic Script).  Does any one in here know if there 
is a collective grammar for the  more splintered Cana'anite Dialects i.e., 
Moabite, Elabite, etc.  I would like to start a study of Epigraphy in my 
Church and Synagogue.  I have quite a vew who are into this kind of thing and 
don't want to have to do a whole lot of Photocopying or web printing.  I am 
hoping that there is something like this that possibly someone in here has 
come across.  I know that there are websites with stuff and that there is 
stuff scattered in Books and Journals but I didn't know if there were 
something condensed.

Karl,

Can you please give me an example of SL+ ?  Where in Judges?

As far as Shalom, while you are right in that our modern understanding of
"peace" is different from that of the Bible ("peace" in the Bible means that
Israel dominates its neighbors and is not threatened by enemies), and that
the basic meaning of $LM is "whole" while $LH/W is "peaceful", I still see a
semantic connection between the way the words are used.

In any case, "peace" is a perfectly apt translation of many occurrences of
Shalom. See, for instance, 1 Kings 5:4 (4:24 in English).

> The opposite of war is not $LWM but SL+ (look at the book of Judges),
which is actually closer to $LH in linguistic variation than $LWM, therefore
more likely to be from a proto-Scmitic source. $LWM actually has the idea of
fullness, and the modern definition of peace comes as a derivitive of
fullness (you can't have fullness during war).
