Dear Yitzhak and all,

For a while I have believed that Patach furtivum (e.g. the 'a' in Yeshua`)
was a non-phonemic, epenthetic glide that was not thought of as a part of the
proper spelling of such words/names until the Tiberian pointing system
developed.

I am aware that it is absent from Samaritan Hebrew and Syriac.

What evidence is there from other transcriptions or pointing traditions to
prove my hypothesis wrong? i.e. to prove that the Patach furtivum is not a
Tiberian invention brought about by their persnickety/pedantic reckoning?

Garth Grenache,
Australia.
