A58099	A discovrse of the orientall tongves viz. [brace ] Ebrew, Samaritan, Calde, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic : together with A genrall grammer for the said tongues / by Christian Ravis.	Raue, Christian, 1613-1677.	1649 (1649)	Wing R311; ESTC R32273	174,955	268

Order by all the forgoing Authors the fourth conjugation ' is to have the active signification and reciprocall and yet we finde many places of Scripture where it is the passive nay the reciprocall signification is that which is both active and passive as I love my selfe there I am the same man that loves and is beloved so that in this forme the Arabians looke more for the passive signification then the active using it almost constantly for the passive and notwithstanding all this it hath the second person of the present commanding or the imperative in singular and plurall not onely in Ebrue but also in Calde Syriac Arabic and Etiopic Whence it is clear and evident that that exception of the Ebrue Grammarians that only Pual and Hofal as they call the second and fourth Order because pasive have no imperative is false I warrant you if nifal hitpaelitpeal and itpael in Ebrue Calde and Syric and tefaal in Arabic may have the present commanding being passive then pual and Hofal may have it to In the Nounes there is not that diversity introduced by the Grammarians notwithstanding in all tongues the Nounes appellative or substantive are of divers sorts 1. The ability of the act to write or drinke 2. The act it selfe Writing or drinking 3. The actor writer drinker 4. The abstraction of the act drunkennesse and by Analogy writnesse 5. The instrument wherewith is acted ink drinke 6. The place appointed or accustomary to the action whereunto in English for the most part is added house place room yet in some words the very latine termination of it is taken as Oratorium and Oratory auditorium an auditory so by Analogy printery writery drinkery 7. The inclination in a person drunkard sluggard by Analogy writard or with a circunscription by adding the word Master whoremaster c. 8. The abstraction of that inclination as wee say hardnesse so drunkardnesse sluggardnesse writhardnesse 9. Speciall Man Woman Husband Wife Father Mother Brother Sister Son Daughter Child c. 10. individuall Adam Havva Qayin Hebel Sêt Enós Ada Zilla Lemek c. Now as all these are in many tongues clearly distinguished by divers formes so were it well if our Grammarians or the Jewes had done so but because they have not done it therefore it followes not that wee must leave it undon And yet if this tongue doth not afford a cleare distinction of forms by this or that Letter and Vowell unto every sort as wee see other tongues do not why should wee than be so mightily vexed with neere 350 or 400 formes of Nounes the greatest part whereof are set down by Qimhi in his Miklôl the rest by others as well Jewes as Christians or at least with those 311. formes or severall scapes of dwelling-houses of the Nounes which are divided into 26 streets by Abraham de Balmes p. h. 8. li. 25. 28. when these things are meerly superfluous if they do not so much as distinguishe unto us 10 or 12 sorts of severall accidents of a signification of the root except to do that whereunto hee leades us by his Motto which doth comprehend the number of 311 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which is seven times in the Bible to set all these 26 streets and 311 Houses on a lusty huge great fire as the name of the Lord in little lesse than a blasphemy is taken by these Jewes to inlarge and amplify a thing by and to make a good fire at the victory of such a terrible enemy The speciall Analogy in Ebrue is to be observed in these following joynts 1. Qamez the long a is for the most part found in the Noune of the first Order under the first Radicall as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the second of the whole first preter tense without or with the affix letters of the personall Nounes as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 These are the examples of the first preter with qamez when they receave the personall Nouns by their letters onely wherein 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 have a long qamez a as all other persons in that first preter without the affixes but with the affixes they yeeld constantly no qamez and therefore left it away except 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 has a qamez a in any person but that comes not within the compasse of the first second or third Radicall Except where the second radicall hath a kholem there it turnes into a short qamez o because the mediator doth fly from the second to the third As for instance under the second radicall k 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of the preter 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 yakôl we have 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Ex. 18.23 vyacolta 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Esa 13.5 the reason of that changing of the o long in a short o I give because the mediator accent doth leave the Vowell and in the manuall concordance in Ebrue it will be plainly seene whither a verbe hath really or is capable to have the kholem at the second radicall which is easily seene if it have kholem in any Person number Tense Order and Gender at least in one place for then it may have it in all places 2. This long qamez is in the whole first preter without affixes as yee see in the paradigme 3. The same in nifal the seventh present and future under the first radicall as is also to be seene by the paradigme 4. Under almost any letter following 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and frequently following 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as you partly see by the paradigme in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. And an abundance of such examples through the whole paradigma Zere a long e 1. Under the second radicall of whatsoever verbe conjugation or order tense person number and gender For what I sayd of qamez and of kholem the same I say of zere If yee finde onely one example among a hundert in the Bible through all the orders c. which hath a zere that is warrant enough to admit it in all the rest of the places and persons if it please you for this liberty is used in all the rest of the Dialects so that yee need not feare to wrong the tongue and good reason for it such a foundation being layd by God in nature for a variety of pronunciation of every tongue not onely of tongues 5.6 700 or a 1000 miles distant from each other but even in every tongue insomuch that there is not one tongue under the Sun that doth not change within every 20 miles I confesse insensible but sensible within 40 or 50 and odde miles which holdes also in this Orientall tongue whence it is that this primitife mother tongue to whole Africa and a fifth part of Asia being but one and the same and seeing that the greatest changing and alteration of the sound besides the letters being in the vowells and that within so narrow a compasse viz. onely five a e i o u

there is in the 1. singular The third plurall hath an u in both genders the third radicall of 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifying two or more which u hath bin already in the present and future The second plurall hath t as in singular with that paragogic m from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in Masculine by Ebrue and Arabic and in the rest of the dialects with n the Feminine with n from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 throughout Whereby Calde Syriac and Etiopic takes away that distinction betweene Masculine and Feminine as we have also examples in the Ebrue Bible m for the Feminine and n for Masculine The first plurall with the last syllable 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 from 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 nakhnu we All these Letters and. Syllables put behinde the root Rule 7. As persons are three 1.2.3 So numbers are only two singular and plurall There are ten or 12 personall and as many numerall Nounes the catalogue whereof ought not to be set downe in the Grammar because what can be said of them must bee done in the Dictionary under their proper root which hetherto hath not being observed and thereby the Grammarians become big and confused by heterogene all and superfluous things The personall Nounes are otherwise cald Pronounes and have made almost by all Authors a seperate part of speech Which if according to reason why was not the same done for the numerall Nouns viz. 1.2.3 4 5.6.7.8.9.10.100.1000 Person and Number number and person having the same right in a Noune and Verber And if the Nounes of person make up a part of speech then the Nounes of Numbers should do it likewise and then there would bee made 19 or one being added unto the 19 I spake of before 20 Or if the numerall Nounes make no part of speech as no Grammarians have allotted to them the personall Nounes make none neither the former being justly left away by all the last by many Here in Analogy they are both to bee made mention of so far forth as there come any certaine severall letters from them to serve in their steed retaining the signification of the whole word And that shall be done in the following rules of letters So that we see the Nouns do not onely denote the third person be they personall proper or appellative as Grammarians conceave but also the first person if the speaker speakes of himselfe as there are in all tongues infinite examples of or the second speaking to some other present or absent supposed to be present whereof as many examples may be shewen That the present commanding otherwise cald the imperative is onely found in the second person I said before and that all the three persons of the present declaring were made good by other wayes in the future and preter an extravagant way from all Europe or by our wayes in the Noun agent with the Verbe substantive I said also and that future and pretertenses have their three full persons it being without losse or gaine whither yee begin from the first and so goe through the second unto the third as for the most part the Grammarians set in the future or from the third and so passing through the second unto the first as for the most part Grammarians set in the preter or whither you begin both alike from the first or third or change it so that yee begin the future from the third as some did and the pretertense from the first as others for that or this order will not alter the case Of the numbers there is more worke viz. whither there bee not three numbers also as well as three persons viz. singular plurall and duall as all the Authors affirme I answer no 1. Because onely one and the same letter serves for the duall that doth for the plurall it being one and the same numerall Noune viz. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which fignifies two or more from whence the third radicall being cut off is imployed instead of the whole word to forme the duall and plurall 2. Because that in the very personall Nounes there are none distinct for the duall and plurall in the second or third person 3. Ebrue Calde Samaritic and Syriac with Etiopic have it not in Verbs 4. Syriac Samaritic and Etiopic have it not in Nounes 5. Because the same letters which in Arabic make the duall in Nounes and Verbs makes the plurall in Ebrue Calde c. 6. Because there is onely singular and plurall in the most of our European tongues Greec seeming to have the duall but the examples are so few in respect of the plurall that you will say it is either superfluous or ridiculous The n which in Arabic is joyned unto 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 and in Greec to o or on is paragogic Rule 8. Masculines are for the most part the Names of 1. Men. 2. People 3. Mountaines Rivers 6. Moneths The names are either proper or appellative therefore wee understand here not onely the proper but also the appellative names of Men c. 1. Men as Adam Qayin Hebel Set. A King A Duke A Prince A Freeborne A Slave 2. An Aegyptian Ebrue German Frenchman Spaniard 3. Carmel Hor 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 by way of Excellency knowne only by the appellative name the Mountaine for that signifies the name Hor from whence the Greec 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 signifying a Mountaine 4.

By termination any words ending on the third Radicall are Masculine Except 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 All these I have taken out of that excellent learned Mr. Buxtorf his great Grammaticall treasure p. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78.
