Kenneth:

As far as I can tell, %N) שנא refers to the emotion of hate, while %+M
שטם to the action of treating someone roughly. They are so different
that I don't list them as synonyms.

I probably don't have the right transliteration but
I'm trying to determine, after looking at the way the
words are used, what the real difference is between
sin-nun-aleph and sin-teyt-mem, both of which mean
"hate." There's not a TDOT volume in my library on
these words (I think that volume just came out, though
I'm not sure if the TDOT is any better than Kittel's
on the meaning of words). The Theological Wordbook of
hte Old Testament says that the latter of these two
stands for a deep-seated grudge, rather than simple
hate. I'd like to research this more, but I'm not
sure where to look. Any suggestions? Thanks.
