• Resumen

  • This paper deals with two noun patterns. The first is the original form of Graphic, which is a matter of dispute. Based on examination of the evidence from the Hexapla transliterations, such as γελγελ (Ezek. 10:13), I suggest that the qilqil pattern be preferred. The second noun pattern is the plural qatlīm. The prevailing assumption is that this pattern had very restricted use, primarily denoting plants or animals. It is overturned by the Greek transcriptions, which indicate a wider distribution for this pattern, and that even such nouns as Graphic and Graphic formed their plurals according to the qatlīm pattern.
