| Summary: | The three possible expressions of the genitive relationship in the Aramaic MS, Targum Neofiti 1 are analyzed and general guidelines for the use of one form over another are enunciated. It is shown that Type A genitives (e.g., bryh dywsp) are marked, Type B (e.g., brʾ dywsp) are unmarked; whenever an expected Type A or Type B genitive is not found, Type C (the "construct state") is the preferred alternative. Combined genitive forms are also discussed. It is demonstrated that certain fixed translation idioms had to be employed for specific theological or technical reasons. |
