(c) Linguistics proves the case. Biblical Hebrew is a virgin pure west
Semitic language. Biblical Hebrew is not a modified east Semitic language.
Hebrew grammars classify it as a Northwest Semitic language. For reference:
Christo H.J. van der Merwe, Jackie A. Naudé, and Jan H. Kroeze. A
Biblical Hebrew Reference Grammar (Sheffield Academic Press, 1999).
