I have seen some interesting sounding titles by Joshua Blau - but they all
seem a bit hard to find and slightly pricey. In addition most are listed by
booksellers in Israel - and I am not proficient in modern Hebrew!
I have been studying the relationship of Hebrew to Arabic and Aramaic -
particularly in terms of common derivation from an original protosemitic
language or group of dialects. I have Gesenius, Jouon/Muraoka, Waltke,
vander Merwe, Berstrasser, and Kaltner (Beyond Babel) among others.
Would anyone here recommend anything by Blau?
Additionally are there any other recommended semitics books? Moscati perhaps?
