     He canot be accused of familiarity with any attested ANE language, nor 
with Proto Semitic, nor with Arabic. Nor with important extra-biblical 
inscriptional material which has a bearing on thre subject. It makes no sense 
to argue with such a position.   Happy New Year to Everybody, Karl included,

 .".... Karl has
indicated many times that he regards the Massoretic vowel pointing to be so
frequently wrong as to prefer to ignore it.  Even if you don't agree with this
assessment, I don't think it's completely unreasonable, and if one does so,
one can readily apply the approach taken by Egyptologists to Hebrew.

Ps 45:8 Myrrh and aloes, cassia [are] all your garments. From ivory palaces
stringed instruments made you glad.

Is there another sensible way to translate  îðé in this verse?
It is supposed to be the same as îðéí  in Ps 150:4, with the final mem
truncated.

Mini usually is a preposition meaning “away from”, but that doesn’t seem to
work since a verb follows.

Is it possible for a B-Hebrew sentence to end with a preposition?

Thanks.

Sincerely,

In this time you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be,
you have been made sorrowful by many trials. (1 Pet 1:6)
