Talk:אנוכי

An IP just added an adjective section "selfish", but my cursory research suggests it might be a noun "egotist" instead. - -sche (discuss) 01:06, 1 March 2012 (UTC)


 * This is interesting. I wasn't familiar with this form, and it's not in any of my dictionaries — they only have, with an extra י — but it's a logical backformation from , and and  turn up plenty of relevant hits. Based on its form, and on those hits, I'd agree with the anon that it's chiefly an adjective. (Full disclosure: those searches are both of the sort that really would turn up adjective uses. But I tried to find noun uses as well, and couldn't.) —Ruakh TALK 01:37, 1 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for checking! I don't speak any Hebrew, so I'll take your word for it. :) - -sche (discuss) 01:52, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Do we use context tags to distinguish Biblical from Modern Hebrew? If so, should this adjective have a "modern" tag? - -sche (discuss) 01:52, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
