Qumran Hebrew, Reymond examines the orthography,
phonology, and morphology of the Dead Sea Scrolls. Short sections
treat specific linguistic phenomena and present a synopsis and
critique of previous research. Reymond's approach emphasizes
problems posed by scribal errors and argues that guttural letters
had not all weakened but instead were weak in specific linguistic
environments, texts, or dialects. Reymond illustrates that
certain phonetic shifts (such as the shift of yodh to aleph and
the opposite shift of aleph to yodh) occur in discernible
linguistic contexts that suggest this was a real phonetic
phenomenon.
