Ps 89,19

[Michel Gilbert]

Hi Robert,

I’m not quite understanding your syntax diagram for מְֽיֻדָּעַ֥י מַחְשָֽׁךְ (Ps 89,19).

 

Thanks for any clarification.

Michel

Hi Michel,

 

Thanks for highlighting a problematic spot!

Here's the note in my database at Ps 88:19: "The last two words are problematic. I've treated them as a null-copula clause: '(those who) know me (are [as good as?]) darkness' (i.e., absent). It is uncertain what the correct analysis is, however."

 

Sorry not to provide greater clarity on the phrase.

Robert

Hi again,

 

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again--I hope that you make your notes available one day. I would even pay for them as a separate module.

 

Shalom,

 

Michel
 

 

Edit: And, sorry about the 89, thanks for correcting it.
