English Unlocked Hebrew Grammar

This is the repository for a reference grammar for biblical Hebrew based on the morphology codes that show up in the Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible.

Roadmap

First stage

Start fresh and provide descriptions of grammatical concepts that show up in Open Scriptures Hebrew Bible morphological data

  • 1-2 sentence that is pop-upable in the 01.md files (Glossary entry)
  • ~1 page entry that provides more information and 2-3 examples like teaching grammars in 02.md files (Article entry)

Second stage

  • Tag the UHB with specific grammatical information (interrogative pronoun)
  • Evaluate (and adjust, if necessary) structural aspects of the morphological data scheme (see list below)
  • Sort all verbs parsed as imperfect in UHB for cohortative and jussive forms

Items to evaluate:

  • Add the following to parsing morphology? causal particle; conditional particle; discourse particle; compound conjunction; particle of existence; particle of non-existence
  • Separate "preposition with definite article" (Rd) into two distinct morphological items, "preposition" (R) + "definite article" (Td)?
  • Re-evaluate: should the category "determined state" be included in the grammar, or should this be called "definite" instead? There is potential for confusion with Aramaic here. In Hebrew, the "determined state" and "definite" are one and the same thing, but in Aramaic they are not. Perhaps we should use the term "definite" in UHG in order to avoid confusion with the "determined state" in the UAG.
  • Parsing for questionable terms: H71 proper name, feminine; H145 common noun, masculine; H521 common noun, feminine; H643 common noun, masculine; H1847 - common noun, feminine (except masc. in Prov 2:10, 14:6, and Job 33:3); H2156 - common noun, feminine; H4530 common noun, feminine; H4593 common noun, feminine? (check textual problem); H5135 Aramaic word, not Hebrew; H7452 common noun, masculine; H2859 common noun, masculine (feminine in Deut 27:23); H5116a common noun, masculine (feminine in Job 8:6); H5183a common noun, feminine (masculine in Job 36:16); H5183b  common noun, masculine; H6211a proper name, feminine (Job 9:9); H6211b common noun, masculine; H492 adjective; H794 common noun, feminine; H2233 common noun, masculine; H2346 common noun, feminine; H2898 common noun, masculine; H3816  common noun, masculine; H5895 common noun, masculine; H6423 pronoun, masculine singular; H7548 common noun, feminine; H8574 common noun, masculine; H5178 common noun, masculine; H6635b - common noun, feminine; H8577 common noun, masculine; H217a common noun, masculine; H5971a common noun, masculine; H5868a,b common noun, masculine; H6643a,b common noun, masculine; H17 interjection; H24 common noun, masculine; H681  preposition; H786 particle of existence; H837 common noun, masculine; H1215 common noun, masculine; H1383 common noun, feminine; H1890 common noun, masculine; H2440 adverb; H2626 adjective; H2958 adverb; H3038 ???; H4033 common noun, masculine; H4227 common noun, feminine; H4512 common noun, masculine; H4596 common noun, masculine; H6673 common noun, masculine; H7315 adverb; H7934 adjective; H7946 adjective; H8613 proper name; H2791 common noun, masculine; H6957a common noun, masculine.
  • Textual issues in UHB to re-evaluate. Song 6:12 proper name or not? When is אוֹיֵב a noun, when a participle?

Third stage

  • Write syntax glossary and article entries
  • Tag text with syntax information

Old Hypothesis comments
