[ha-Safran] AJL Library Accreditation

[S Kurzmann via Hasafran]

There are many reasons to apply for or to renew AJL library accreditation. AJL
members have found that library accreditation:


   - Encourages the librarian to review the library resources, identify the
   strengths and weaknesses of the collection, resources and programs, and
   plan for library enhancements
   - Raises the profile of the library in the eyes of the organization and
   community
   - Reasserts the status of the librarian as a key professional
   administrating a state of the art facility with much to contribute to the
   parent organization

Applications can be found on the AJL website. All applications for  a
ccreditation or renewal of accreditation are due March 2, 2020.

[ha-Safran] Looking for FREE on-line teaching material or apps for conversational Hebrew for adults

[Israel Cohen via Hasafran]

These are not instructional materials about teaching Hebrew. They are
topics with a lot of Hebrew language content that should be of value to
anyone studying Hebrew, especially those whose native language is English.

All of the materials in the numbered items are free and you may distribute
the links or files to anyone who would want to receive them.

1. Sound changes in (proto-) Hebrew consonants

Knowing the sound changes that occurred in Western Semitic consonants helps
a student recognize cognates of Hebrew words.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kw2yvwanac7jhhp/SoundChangeHandOut_2.docx?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/kisl3s4dbmjv0qc/Sound_Changes_slides.pptx
c
?dl=0


https://www.dropbox.com/s/9cwsdqs3tv4uq27/Sound_Changes.dox?dl=0


It seems the aleph originally had a Mediterranean CHS and Northern GHT-sound.
It lost that sound and moved from the end to the beginning of Hebrew nouns
under the influence of Aramaic which used aleph as a suffix for the
definite article. For example, the 2nd word in Tanakh, bet-resh-aleph,
sounded like B-R-GHT, cognate with English "brought (forth)".

My first linguistic discovery was the ancient W-sound of the Hebrew het.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0jhlbuwjoh1pb5l/het_W_parallels.docx?dl=0

*https://www.dropbox.com/s/fiqsxntf083txm7/Het_W_X_parallels.docx?dl=0
*

It lost that sound, probably under the influence of Greek which had already
lost the W-sound of its 6th letter (now called digamma). The het had a KS =
X sound when the Greeks and Romans controlled the area.

The previous KS-sound of the het + the ancient CHS-sound of the aleph
explains why the Rashi-script aleph looks like a het + chupchik.


2 - Idioms formed via phono-semantic matching (PSM)

These idioms usually represent disguised code-switching, so well disguised
that neither the speaker / writer nor the listener / reader realize that a
switch has occurred.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/d247l8wejcdvw1c/Idioms_via_PSM.pptx?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqbbsipjovkih26/idiom_Formation_pics.docx?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/5bmhhljrhweftfg/SHeTZeF%20QeTZeF_2.docx?dl=0

https://www.dropbox.com/s/6mltrna6hlq3htz/ForgetMeNot.docx?dl=0


3 - Words and idioms formed by reversal

https://www.dropbox.com/s/u1mn920bficdk5k/Reversals2.pptx?dl=0

NaTZiV MeLakH "pillar of salt" is the reversal of a Phoenician euphemism
kHaLaM BoTZeN "bastion of strength / health" for a stroke or thrombosis (<
trauma + BoTZ = mud). The modern Hebrew term is SHaVaTZ = due to / caused
by + mud. Lot's wife became "mudstruck", paralyzed, unable to move as if
stuck in the mud. The words "looked backwards from behind (him)" are a
not-so-subtle hint that we need to pronounce / read the Hebrew phrase
backwards to understand it.


4 - Anthropomorphic maps

Anthropomorphic maps were generated by configuring the gigantic virtual
body of a god or goddess over the area to be mapped. The name of each part
of that body became the name of the area under that part. This produced a
mental image whose toponyms indicated the approximate location, direction,
and size of each area in the map.

This is an adults only item because the Phoenician maps of Hermes (whose
navel was at Mt. Hermon) and Aphrodite (Afro-deity, who gave her name to
Africa) are quite risque. They are literally connected at Sinai (with an
intentionally missing aleph between the nun and yod and therefore cognate
with the English noun "snatch") which contains the Desert of Zin (his
"zaiyin" = weapon, a euphemism for the male member).

https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxlvvgdcdadzep3/Anthropomorphic_Maps_3.pptx?dl=0


https://www.dropbox.com/s/ksjxfos5myl6e1w/Anthropomorphic_Maps_3.docx?dl=0

On similar American Indian maps, the male and female bodies are always a
discrete / discreet distance apart.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ravvjibss9llncl/BlackfootMaps.doc?dl=0

I learned this mapping concept from Dan Moonhawk Alford
 (deceased) and Stan Knowlton
.
I
was able to match the body parts and toponyms in West Asia and North Africa
because Hebrew and Phoenician are both Western Semitic languages with a
similar lexicon.

For unbelievable but genuine folk etymologies for the same toponyms, see
this file.

[ha-Safran] reference question

[Anne Knafl via Hasafran]

Hi All,
I received this question from a patron. Does anyone know the name of the 
letter? I found that the letter is addressed to Solomon. Ramban had a younger 
son, Solomon, but the letter may in fact be referring to King Solomon.
Thanks in advance,
Anne
"I was in class a few years ago and a letter from the Ramban- Nachmanides was 
mentioned. It is the not the famous Iggeret Ramban but to a different son that 
stayed in the Spanish Royal Court. I cannot find it anywhere- do you know how 
to find it?"

Hello-
A colleague of mine is searching for the title of a children’s chapter book

Any ideas?

Re: [ha-Safran] name of a book

[LOIS RUBY via Hasafran]

I remember Uncle Misha's Partisans very well from my days at a KS synagogue. 
One major memory attached to that book is that a special kid, a 5th grader, had 
severe asthma and was admitte4d to National Jewish Hospital in Denver for an 
extended stay away from his family. I sent him that book, and we had lots of 
correspondence to discuss it. (Before email, of course). That "kid" is now 54, 
and he still remembers that book with great fondness and remembers how it 
sealed a bond between us. So, I hope this is the book your colleague is looking 
for!
