Book excerpt: Excerpt from Root-Determinatives in Semitic Speech: A Contribution to Semitic Philology The biliteral theory, sometimes attacked, at other times defended, and almost entirely rejected in recent years, forms the subject of these studies. They were begun in 1907 in a somewhat empirical fashion, but the author became deeply interested in the mass of literature which had accumulated on the subject, although these researches had apparently resulted in hopeless confusion rather than in even an approximate solution of their problem. As a result of his investigations, the writer was very glad to find that able grammarians had not labored for centuries in vain, con tending blindly over something that had no existence; but that, on the contrary, the biliteral root in Semitic was an actual entity.
