[Heb-NACO] romanization of the day?

[Biella, Joan]

According to my favorite grammar book (Lambdin's Introduction to Biblical Hebrew, c1971, p. 267 and vicinity), the vowel in the first syllable of Qal verbs is reduced to sheva when an object suffix is attached to the perfect, due to "shift of stress and propretonic reduction."  In LC romanization, his examples would be

shemartini (2.f.s.), shemartim (1.s), shemartikh (1.s.)--and many more.

If the root begins with a guttural, the sheva becomes a hataf patah, requiring ve- to take the form va- in the syllable before it.  All these factors would produce va-'arakhtiv.  I'm not sure how to look for Biblical examples (or counterexamples) of this; can anyone check a few?

Thank you!

I should think the ayin would be vocalized with a kamats, so I agree with Jay.

No, a vav that comes before a letter vocalized with a hataf takes that vocalization.  In this case, the ayin of arakhti is vocalized with a hataf-patah, so the vav is vocalized with a patah.

The whole phrase "ha-Honen le-Adam Da'at" is capped, because it is a name consisting of a phrase, sort of like "She Who Must Be Obeyed," "Father Time," or "Calamity Jane" (AACR2 rule 22.11A).

I can answer the second one more easily as it comes from the 'amidah: it's le-adam, not la-adam. (why would adam and da'at be capped?)

I'll look into the ער"ח...

The LCCN is 2011425612 and the title is "Shut Minḥat Avraham."

The statement of responsibility says "ḥibartiṿ ṿa-ʻarakhtiṿ be-ḥesed D. ʻalai uve-ʻezrat ha-Ḥonen la-Adam Daʻat ani ha-tsaʻir ʻer. ḥ. Avraham b.R. Saʻid Ḥamami, y. ts. ṿ."

My question:  what is ʻer. ḥ. = ער"ח?  Somehow "ʻerev rosh ḥodesh" doesn't fit the context.

Bonus question: should it be ha-Ḥonen la-Adam Daʻat or ha-Ḥonen le-Adam Daʻat?

Thank you for your collective wisdom.
