dear b-haverim,
is the pattern "anoki YHWH" vs. "ani YHWH" significant (notice also, no
reverse orders)?

Dear Vincent DeCaen,
Try H.B. Rosén, *'NWKY and 'NY: Essai de grammaire, interprétation et
traduction*, originally published in _Mélanges André Neher_, Paris:
Maisonneuve 1975, 253-272, reprinted in IDEM, _East and West,
Selected Writings in Linguistics (...), Part Two, Munich: Fink 1984,
262-281. Rosén sees a difference between the two forms. However, I
remember not being quite convinced by his argument when I read the
essay a couple of years ago.
