Biblical Hebrew language - Historical sound changes
As Biblical Hebrew (BH) evolved from Proto-Semitic (PS) it underwent a number of mergers[1],[2]:
- PS */ð/ and */z/ merged as BH /z/
- PS */θ/ and */š/ merged as BH /š/
- PS */θ̣/, */ɬ̣/, and */ṣ/ merged as BH /ṣ/
- PS */s/ and */ɬ/ merged as BH /s/ (but were spelled with different letters, samekh and sin respectively)
- PS */ɣ/ and */ʕ/ merged as BH /ʕ/
- PS */x/ and */ḥ/ merged as BH /ḥ/
Greek transcriptions provide evidence that Biblical Hebrew maintained the proto-Semitic consonants gh, kh for longer than the writing system might suggest. Thus `Amorah is transcribed as Gomorrha in Greek, whereas `Eber is transcribed as Eber with no intrusive g; since comparative Semitic evidence shows that proto-Semitic *gh and *` both became `ayin in later Hebrew, this suggests that the distinction was still maintained in Classical times.
