 *   There is plenty of evidence against your 'possibilities'. Your 
possibilities cannot be be 100% disproved, but neither can the possibility 
that Qohelet was an alien from a planet called Pnegamulch.

George, this is very disappointing.  The proper transliteration is 
P*neg!?a-mulkh, with the * representing a reverse glottal flip, and the !? 
representing the tri-uvular click (it's amazing the sounds that can be 
generated by beings with three uvulae).  It's also clear that Qohelet was 
influenced by High P*neg!?a-mulkhian, rather than the later colonial 
dialects from their settlements in the Gamadean cluster.  Please be more 
careful of your facts in the future.

Sorry... sometimes I get this list confused with the sci-fi list I'm on, not 
sure why...
