Re: The language question
Dear judith,
I would like to offer a small refinement to your statement that qop may be
transliterated by chi. A quick check of proper names shows that whereas
qop with a vowel is transliterated kappa (Ribqah=Rebekkas), when the qop
is with a sheva LXX transliterates it with chi as you suggest is the case
in shebaqtani (cf names such as qeterah with mobile shewa and yoqtan or
yoqte'al shewa nah.)
