No, they're not stupid question, Norman. Isaac's theory of the Hebrew language is quite idiosyncratic. In fact, as far as I know, he's the only who subscribes to it, though I'm open to being corrected.

Is there a general phonetic rule behind these transformations? Is there evidence of a tendency in Ancient Hebrew for the personal pronoun ANIY to be shortened to E in nouns like this? Could the derivation of HIY from HYH be explained according to a broader
rule?
Sorry if the questions sound stupid!
