I am not tossing any missiles. I just gave views. The Bible dictionary in which I looked up "Pu'ah" was compiled by James P. Boyd, hopefully an expert. He treats the Pu'ah of Exodus and the Puah of Judges as the same name. ...
... What his rationale for this is and why he gives the meaning as "mouth", he does not say. I am as puzzled at this as anyone. But I can read Hebrew quite well and can contribute. Ask "Noam". About a month ago he posed a question on a Hebrew term and I gave him a private answer. The only reason I answered privately is because I was brand new to the list and had not yet figured out that to respond to a post, one needs to hit "reply all" instead of just "reply" as with the Yahoo groups. If "Noam" remembers, perhaps he can attest that my answer was the same as that of the majority he received onlist. I studied Hebrew before I ever cracked open an Egyptian grammar. It is not a language I am "in no position" to comment on. However, at this point my expertise in Egyptian is far greater than in Biblical Hebrew--that is true. But you don't know me well enough to be able to make any judgments on what I am fit to comment upon--or not. ...
... If my sources are not good enough for you, perhaps it is you who has a source that explains the meaning of Pu'ah and gives a rationale that is unempeachable.
