Overview

Judean: "And" (ื•) affixes to the second word as a prefix.

English: "And" is a separate word between items.

READING GOAL:
To recognize when ื• is attached to a word meaning "and".

The Rule

English: Noun + and + Noun (day and night) = 3 separate words

Judean: Noun + ื•Noun (ื™ื•ื ยท ื•ืœื™ืœื”) = 2 words, "and" attached to second word

The word "and" becomes the prefix ื• on the following word.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1
day and night
ื™ื•ื ยท ื•ืœื™ืœื”
and-night ื•ืœื™ืœื” ยท day ื™ื•ื
EXAMPLE 2

EXAMPLE 4

EXAMPLE 6

ืืจื™ ยท ื•ื›ืœื‘

Lists: More Than Two Words

When there are more than two items in a list, EVERY word after the first gets ื• attached.

English: Uses commas, with "and" only before the last item.
Judean: Every item after the first gets ื• prefix.

EXAMPLE 7
lion, dog, mouse
ืืจื™ ยท ื•ื›ืœื‘ ยท ื•ืขื›ื‘ืจ
and-mouse ื•ืขื›ื‘ืจ ยท and-dog ื•ื›ืœื‘ ยท lion ืืจื™
EXAMPLE 8

ื–ื”ื‘ ยท ื•ื›ืกืฃ ยท ื•ื ื—ืฉืช
and-bronze ื•ื ื—ืฉืช ยท and-silver ื•ื›ืกืฃ ยท gold ื–ื”ื‘
EXAMPLE 9
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
ืื‘ืจื”ื ยท ื•ื™ืฆื—ืง ยท ื•ื™ืขืงื‘
and-Jacob ื•ื™ืขืงื‘ ยท and-Isaac ื•ื™ืฆื—ืง ยท Abraham ืื‘ืจื”ื

Key Points

  • "And" becomes ื• prefix on the second word
  • First word stays unchanged
  • In lists, ALL words after the first get ื• attached
  • Commas become ื• on each following word
  • Literal Translation: "day and-night" not "day and night"
