	The Tower of Babel Affair
		Semiticists presume that Hebrew is later than Akkadian and Ugaritic, but the evidence reveals that the Edenic core of early Biblical Hebrew preceded the 70 oldest linguistic ancestors formed at Babel.
		It is remarkable that some authorities have such a sure grasp on prehistory, when astrophysicists, for example adjust their dating by several zeros a few times a year.
		It's not easy to convince a secular Bible scholar or Semiticist that the Bible doesn't merely follow human chronology, or, in a specific but famous example of such folly, that the Gilgamesh Epic of the Flood was obviously a later, inferior version of the Biblical record Ð- not the reverse.

	[No title]
		The principles discussed in this paper have a number of implications for the historical study of morphology-- most obviously within the field of historical/comparative Semitics.
		The traditional Semiticist approach to historical morphology is quite static: the consonantal roots and patterns of the traditional grammatical analysis are assumed to be historical primitives.
		There is no conception of how new roots and new patterns might arise.
