vocalization
[edit]For the Tiberian and Ancient vocalizations, shouldn't the shewa be nonvocalic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.197.194.239 (talk) 22:08, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

"Kedarlagomer"
[edit]That's not how this works. Some parts of LXX can be OK evidence for consonants, and while there are variant consonants here, not likely ones, but you'd need a better understanding of the etymology and reconstruction of the vowels to assume anything, let alone "it was the same but with a gamma." What language/period are you trying to imitate? Proto-Semitic doesn't = 3rd century BC Hebrew. If it went through Elamite, we know nothing about Elamite phonology. Plus we really know nothing about the second half of the name at all. Then there's the vowels, for which LXX and Elamite are almost useless.
"Elamite: Kudurlakamar" would be a mostly baseless guess that (IMO) wouldn't belong on wiki. "Ancient: Kedarlagomer" is nonsense.
Would a g be a better technical representation of an ghayn anyway? Conflating it with gimel? GordonGlottal (talk) 23:55, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
- @GordonGlottal: One, that is absolutely how that works. The Septuagint preserves, in numerous places, the phenome of /ɣ~ʁ/ in words with the ayin that have since subsumed into the regular glottal stop ayin, Gaza, Gomorrah, even preserving it in words like Peor and Athaliah. This is something that can be very easily seen. The same is also true (and further demonstrable) with preservations of the dual Heth phenomes /ħ/ and /x/.
- Two, we not only know what Elamite phonology was like, with both the corpus of Linear and Cuneiform nearly entirely deciphered, but the concordance of g~k in Elamite has exactly nothing to do with the ghayin in pre-Masorete Hebrew. Nebuchadnezzar's name in Old Persian was Nabukadracara, that doesn't mean the Native Akkadian reading Nabu-kudurri-usur, suddenly becomes called into question.
- Third, no, "g" would not be a better representation, because /g/ was not what the ghayn of ancient Hebrew represented. As stated above, it was /ɣ/ or /ʁ/, and is transliterated as ġ just as it is in Arabic, Ugaritic, South Arabian, and literally every other Semitic language which includes it in their phonological profile. Zhomron (talk) 02:13, 18 February 2022 (UTC)
- I don't understand this response at all. Why "Kedarlagomer" if you agree a g isn't appropriate? And I don't think you appreciate what I was saying -- the reconstruction of ghayin in 3rd century BCE hebrew is fine, but it doesn't translate into P-S etymon "Kedarlagomer." There would obviously be many more differences. GordonGlottal (talk) 16:52, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @GordonGlottal: I was confused by your mentions of PS so I took a look at the edit. Yes , it seems the “ancient” linked is Proto-Semitic – which indeed is a highly inappropriate correlation to make. I was under the impression the “Ancient” linked Biblical Hebrew. I think that’s the crux of this misunderstanding. Yes, PS is far beyond well understood, and the reconstruction I was making only applies to BH, not PS.
- You may also still be confused. g ≠ ġ, and ġ is what was used in the translit., not g. Zhomron (talk) 17:29, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- I see -- my bad on the g. The reconstruction of pre-Masoretic Hebrew is its own well-developed field. I think Benjamin Suchard's approach is the most solid for the moment (there are some minor errors in his thesis but not relevant to here) and one could use it to reconstruct pre-Masoretic versions of most words. The result would not be "kedarlaġomer". But anyway WP:OR. GordonGlottal (talk) 17:42, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- You may also still be confused. g ≠ ġ, and ġ is what was used in the translit., not g. Zhomron (talk) 17:29, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
I take it that you two are aware that doing your own philology is strictly not the Wikipedia way? Achar Sva (talk) 22:43, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- As I said in the edit summary when I moved to talk and in the last comment. It's an interesting topic and a way of avoiding future disputes or errors. GordonGlottal (talk) 23:04, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Timeline/Identification - Kudur-Enlil
[edit]https://www.academia.edu/79921459/A_Simple_Chronology_for_Biblical_Archaeology
My reconstruction of the biblical timeline places Abraham 13 generations before the historical David(998-975BC), or roughly 1297-1274BC. There is a confluence of similar names around this time.
At this time, we have Ibiranu II(Abraham) in Ugarit(1274-1251BC). Tudhaliya 4(Tidal) as Hittite(1274-1251BC). Kudur-Enlil(Chedorlaomer) in Babylon(1251-1228BC)
