36 PRONOMEN ABUNDANS AND PRONOMEN CONIUNCTUM basing ourselves on the qualifications known to us of the pronomen abundans in Greek and the resumptive pronoun in the Semitic languages. 2.4.3.1. The function of the pronomen abundans in Greek is altogether different from that of the Semitic resumptive pronoun. It has been observed by Tabachovitz 107: "Man sollte jedenfalls nicht aus dem Gesicht verlieren, dass die griechische Ausdrucksweise aus anderen Bedingungen entsprungen ist und auch hinsichtlich der Form, da hier beide Pronomina flektiert werden, sich nicht völlig mit der hebräischen deckt" . The difference in form is clear, but Tabachovitz does not explain what he means, when he speaks of "the other conditions". We know, however, that, notwithstanding all the differences between the examples occurring in (Ancient and Koine) Greek, they all have one characteristic in common: all the relat. clauses in which occurs a pronomen abundans are nonessential (nonrestrictive). The restriction can be made even more closely: they may be viewed as cases of relat. connection 108. This means that in Greek the relat. pronoun in a clause where a pronomen abundans OCCUl'S may be viewed as forming the connection between two principal sentences. 2.4.3.2. The function of the resumptive pronoun in the Semitic languages is, as has already been said, altogether different. In 2.4.1 we have seen that the Semitic nota relationis is of ten followed by a pers. or demonstr. pronoun in order to clarify its obscure sense. It is obvious that such a pronoun is not redundant, but necessary. 2.4.3.3. The method which will be followed in the next paragraphs is very simpie: when arelat. clause in which occurs a pronomen abundans is essential (restrictive), it does not follow the rules of the Greek language and must be considered as non-Greek, and therefore as a Semitism. When such a clause is nonessential, the chance is great that the pronomen abundans can be defended as something that is innate to Greek, but it mayalso be considered as a consequence of Semitic influence. 2.4.4.

At fust sight the relat. clause seerns to be one not of definition, but of description. If, however, the preceding passage is read weIl, it appears that the relat. clause actually is essential.

The strange wordorder is a consequence of the translation : it is so literal that even the word order of the Hebrew original has not been changed.

The translation is as Iiteral as in the above-mentioned cases, but there is one difference: this time the relat. clause is nonessential and may be viewed as a parenthesis l15 . A Greek could have written this (although no one has ever written such asentence!), because this pronomen abundans occurs in arelat. clause which has the right qualifications. This is not a genuine case of Semi tic influence. Yet, I believe, it ows its existence to the Hebrew original: a Hebrew and a Greek phenomenon find each other 116.

Moulton-Howard 117 mention this pI ace as an example where "the construction is used in the Greek with no corresponding use in the Hebrew". In this case the Hebrew original actually does not have a resumptive pronoun. It may not be by accident llO Cf. Hesseling, Pent.: ó fJeoç öç ÈnE(lnáTT};av ol yovot P.OV op.n(loaTá TOV ••• 111 Cf.
