Letters 79
phrases employ an imperative of the middle weak verb “to return.”
The verb is ttb, ifitfollows Akkadian in utilizing a /i/ for the
theme vowel, a /u/ for the prefix vowel, and an /a/ following the SÁ.
The imperative is vocalized as /tatˆäbˆä/. The form is an SÁ (compare
the Hebrew causative—the Hiphil byIvEh), impv 2fs. The distinctive
sûof the SÁ-stem has assimilated to the t of the root word twb (i.e.,
/*sûatˆäbˆä >tatˆäbˆä/). Additionally, the theme vowel is a long /ˆä/
because twb is a middle weak, or hollow, verb. Finally, the ending
/-ˆä/ indicates that the writers are directing a female to respond.
