dear randy,
BH ulpan...?
i'm dying to know which biblical dialect you use. do your native speakers
know how to use nunation in impf forms? do they know how to use
pseudo-cohortatives? do they know how to place pausal forms? i'm
especially interested if your native speakers could explain the
distribution of the three forms of attah (2ms). if they could explain word
order in the psalms, that would be a real help.
i've always wanted to do fieldwork...! ;-)
