After writing a note last night questioning if some of the lexemes in the
dictionary are merely alternate spellings, does it make sense that I should
come on today asking if we should add one? Especially when in this case I
dont have an alternate spelling to back me up?
While reading Proverbs 30 this morning, it struck me that the last of the
four objects moving is that of the conquering fellow into the unknown. A
possible pronunciation being derek geber bealumah.
Linguistically, the proposed (LMH alumah comes from the root (LM meaning
to be unknown or make unknown, so the meaning fits.
Psychologically, there is a constant desire of men to challenge the unknown,
whether it is to explore new frontiers, make new discoveries or invent that
which has not appeared before.
So here I have the parallelism of the context in the verse, linguistic
possibility and psychological insight that suggests that (LMH read as
alumah unknown is a proper lexeme that fits this verse.
Even this question is my road into the unknown and youall keep shooting me
down often enough, but Im learning. :-)
