In the example below, מֹשֶׁ֗ה "Moses" is a proper noun (because it is a
|
|||
|
|
name), but אִ֖ישׁ "man" is a :ref:`common noun<noun_common>`.
|
|||
|
|
Biblical Hebrew does not have capital letters to signify proper names.
|
|||
|
|
Proper nouns always appear in the :ref:`absolute state<state_absolute>`
|
|||
|
|
and are considered :ref:`3rd person<person_third>`
|
|||
|
|
:ref:`singular<number_singular>`
|
|||
|
|
when used as subjects of verbs, direct objects, or referred to by
|
|||
|
|
personal pronouns or pronominal suffixes. Proper names can be either
|
|||
|
|
:ref:`masculine<gender_masculine>`
|
|||
|
|
or
|
|||
|
|
:ref:`feminine<gender_feminine>`.
