[Heb-NACO] romanization question

[Neil Manel Frau-Cortes]

I agree with Barry that this is ki + metahaveh (which appears as a single word on ES, and is linked to the root טחה

However, I think the discussion is: should we consider כמטחוה- as a single preposition? “A distance of about...”   As such it can combine with קשת, תוחה, etc, and wouldn’t be unlike compound prepositions such as לפני, in which the etymology as separate words is not really relevant.

I don’t see that. Question is, is the mem part of the word, as metahaveh, or a preposition: min tahaveh.

Even Shoshan lists it under Metahaveh, unless it changed this in the newer edtions (mine is from 1969). It’s a very strange word, but it seems like the mem is part of the construction.

I would disagree:

The correct form would be (IMO) Kime-tahave as in כמטחווי-קשת
See Genesis 21:16 and ES, vol. 2, page 641

I would go with the first option, following ES.

I would like some help on providing the correct romanization for

כמטחווי

Would it be:

ki-meṭaḥaṿe

or

ki-mṭaḥaṿe

Alkalay does not show a "sheva" under the Even-Shoshan does.


Thanks, Heidi
