Prepositions and similar words in Hebrew are usually nouns, sometimes entire, but oftener worn down and frag- mentary. The following three fragments used as prepo- sitions are, like the Art., inseparably prefixed to words: n in, hy^ with; local and instrumental D as, like ^ to, at, for; sign of dat. and inftn. a) The usual pointing of these light fragments is simple sh®va. b) Before another sh®va this becomes hireq, by § 6. 2 d., forming a half open syllable, nib, c) Before a hateph the sh®va becomes the corresponding short vowel, by § 8. 3, ’'is, ''1s:d=’'1S5, like a lion. d) Before the accent, the prep., falling in the pretone, often has tone-long qamec (§ 6. 2 b.), as to water. ^ For this name the reader substituted ’'i'lSXord, the vowels of which stand in the text. Possibly the word was pronounced HliT Yah-veh. ^ In smg. S^nn, in plur. DHn. 3*
