> ... How does BH customarily say "anyone" or "someone"? It seems
reasonable that *ish*, *nephesh* or any number of other terms could
be used as indefinites in this manner, but I find they usually are
not employed in this fashion, although the idiomatic "a man and his
neighbor" is used to mean "everyone."
DKS: "Anyone" or "everyone" can be expressed with _KL_ "all" followed by a
participle (Gen 4:14, 15, 21; Exod 12:15), or followed by *ish* (Gen
45:1; Exod 25:2), or followed by *nephesh* (Exod 1:5).
