Hebrew is a Semitic language, attested since ca. 1100 b.c.e. as the language of the Israelites (also called Hebrews, later Jews). Ancient Hebrew died out as a spoken language in the 3rd century c.e., though it was retained in an unbroken chain for liturgical and literary purposes into the modern era. In the late 19th and 20th centuries, Hebrew was revived as a spoken language. It is used today as the national language of Israel. Nouns in Hebrew are distinguished for gender (masculine and feminine) and number (singular and plural, and in some instances dual). Nouns appear in Hebrew, as in all the Semitic languages, in a variety of set patterns . Most nouns, however, appear in patterns that include three root letters.The basic patterns have no affirmatives. More complex patterns are created by the use of preformatives and sufformatives. Some of these patterns are associated with specific semantic domains as well. The vast majority of verbs in Biblical Hebrew are built from a lexical rootconsisting of three consonants, to which are added prefixes and suffixes indicating person, number, and gender. Many of the most basic verbal roots show clear indications of a biconsonantal origin, though over time they have been accommodated to the triconsonantal norm. The verb appears in two conjugations, known as the suffix conjugation (SC) and the prefix conjugation (PC). As these terms indicate, the former is constructed by adding suffixes to the verbal root, while the latter is constructed by adding prefixes to the verbal root (though in some forms prefixes and suffixes are added). These verbal roots, in turn, may appear in various verbal patterns expressing different meanings. For example, the root dml l-m-d means ‘learn’ in the basic pattern, known as Qal or Pa؛al, but ‘teach’ in a derived pattern known as the Pi؛el. The Hebrew verb appears in a variety of set patterns, known as binyanim, literally ‘constructions’, in Hebrew grammatical terminology. We have alluded to these patterns several times above. The names of the binyanim derive from the 3rd masculine singular SC form of the specific pattern.Hebrew and ultimately Arabic grammatological tradition reaching back to the Middle Ages). The tiberian reading tradition has an unusually large number of alternations. Most involving vowels or simivowels. The great majority are conditioned by differences in stress , syllable structure, and the proximity of laryngeal.
