History of Phoenicia

CHAPTER XIII--PHOENICIAN WRITING, LANGUAGE, AND LITERATURE
10/42

_Vau_ prefixed means "and;" _beth_ prefixed "in;" _kaph_ prefixed "as;" _lamed_ prefixed "of" or "to;" _'al_ {...} is "over;" _ki_ {...} "because;" _im_ {...}, "if;" _hazah_, _zath_, or _za_ {...}, "this" (compare Heb.

{...}); and _ash_ {...}, "who, which" (compare Heb.

{...}).

_Al_ {...} and _lo_ {...} are the negatives (compare Heb.
{...}).

The redundant use of the personal pronoun with the relative is common.
Still, Phoenician is not mere Hebrew; it has its own genius, its idioms, its characteristics.
