AB There are two principal theories on the origin of the Hebrew term serek in the Dead Sea Scrolls: first, that it is a variant spelling of the Biblical Hebrew root spelled with a śin; second, that it is a Persian loanword. The phonological and lexical analysis presented here lends support to the latter theory. Perhaps more importantly, the methodology used in and results obtained from this study provide wider implications for the improvement of Semitic lexicography in the future.
