Vol. I p. XXXI ad fin. If Prof. Fried. Delitzsch's combination of<br />
11ti^''{^ 'pupil of eye' with a root ^")J^ to be strong, be justified, we<br />
have an interesting parallel in <strong>the</strong> Aegyptian nutrit 'eye-ball' connected<br />
by Page Renouf with nutar or nutra having <strong>the</strong> original signification<br />
of 'strong'. (Lectures on Origin <strong>and</strong> Growth of Religion 1879 p. 98.)<br />
But <strong>the</strong> existence of a Hebrew root ]^'\^ 'to be strong' (even if we<br />
connect it with ano<strong>the</strong>r collateral ti'^i^) i^ extremely problematical.<br />
<strong>The</strong> form 1ti'i£'J^.<br />
<strong>The</strong> proper name K'J^in^ ^^ K'i^l^ proves nothing, as Noldeke has al-<br />
ready pointed out. (Zeitsch. der Deutsch. Moi-genl. Gesellsch. 1886,<br />
art. on Fi'ied. Delitzsch's Prolegg. eines neuen Heb.-Aram. Worterbuchs,<br />
ad fin). <strong>The</strong>re is <strong>the</strong>refore no justification whatever for Fried. De-<br />
litzsch's assertion that such a meaning for <strong>the</strong> root is "satisfactorily<br />
proved" by <strong>the</strong> above proper name (Prolegomena p. 161 footn. 3).<br />
Noldeke is disposed to agree with Gesenius in regarding Ji^i^ln"' ^^<br />
signifying 'Jehovah has given' <strong>and</strong> would compare <strong>the</strong> Arabic root<br />
tjf*)\. This is also <strong>the</strong> view of Prof. D. H. Miiller in <strong>the</strong> lOt'i edition<br />
of Gesenius' Hebr. Lexicon sub voce tC'iiin"'- S®® *'^^ examples from<br />
Corp. Insc. Semit. <strong>the</strong>re cited. <strong>The</strong> name accordingly signifies 'Jehovah<br />
has given (sc. a son)'; comp. Hebr. |J-|3in'') Assyr. Marduk-abal-iddina<br />
(Merodach has given a son), Adar-iddin <strong>and</strong> similar names.<br />
Vol. I p. 15 (Gen. I. 14) misrata umassir. Sayce (Hibbert Lec-<br />
tures 1887 p. 389) renders (transcribing mizrata yumazzir) "appointing<br />
<strong>the</strong> signs of <strong>the</strong> Zodiac" 'Mizrata is <strong>the</strong> mazz&roth of Job XXXVIH.<br />
32'.*<br />
* On this Dr. Schrader writes to me (Feb. 1. 1888) as follows:<br />
