  Brian,
 
  The  letter "He" as a pronominal suffix, not only in the examples you cite 
bellow but also for instance in in A&TR$TH in the Kunt. El- Ajrud may well 
have been a  vocalized consonant,   --"  ...tahu", as the cited  above .  In 
classical  Arabic this is the case to the present.  Interestingly, like in 
most cases in BH, this contracts to a syllable in the colloqiual dialects.

Hi Yitzak,

Will you count the 3. m. s. pronominal suffixes as final he maters? 
There are many of them that are pronounced /o/: (line 6) vayyahlephoh, 
benoh, (7) boh, ubetoh, (8) moh, beyamoh, etc.

I admit, when we pronounce such final he's as /o/, we may be using 
anachronistic pronunciation rules. IOW, they may have been consonants 
as, I think, Joel Hoffman mentioned as a general possibility for 
epigraphic Hebrew ("Moabite").

Shalom,
Bryan

FROM THE MODERATORS OF B-HEBREW:

Dear B-Haveray,

First off, congratulations on maintaining this long and busy set of 
threads on YHWH with mostly helpful and friendly tone and content.

Second, it is clear that we have strayed from that tone and content and 
thereby violated our list charter, which is available at 
http://www.ibiblio.org/bhebrew/.

The list may well have already "self-corrected."  If so, disregard the 
following.  Please desist in calling each other blind or arrogant or any 
other such demeaning slams.  Please desist in trying to correct the 
faith (or non-faith!) position of a fellow member as soon as his or her 
faith-position "leaks" into a post.  By all means, do not challenge 
someone who is a member of the list to "read the Tanakh!" as if he or 
she does not.

Additionally, when we have discontinued discussing the Biblical Hebrew 
language and text, we have strayed from the mission of this list.  This 
forum is not the place to discuss what one *should* believe or how one 
should decide what to believe in the sectarian sense.

The moderators do not want to discontinue the thread or put any members 
on moderation setting.  This we will do if personal attack or sectarian 
strife continues.

Third, b-hebrew is *not* a scholarly list.  We are pleased to have many 
scholars on the list and to hear from these experts.  We are also 
pleased to have lay people and clergy (who are not professional 
academics) on the list and to hear their perspectives as well.  While 
they may not be experts, they have free access to contribute to the 
board.  No one viewpoint owns the list, including the "scholarly 
consensus," whatever that is.  Even scholars must understand, when they 
join such a list, that they enter without a uniform, so to speak.  In 
other words, each member is free to value another member's 
professional/academic credentials as he desires.

Thank you for your consideration.

Shalom,
Bryan Rocine
