Abel H. Huizinga was a noted scholar of Hebrew, and in this, his dissertation for John's Hopkins University, he discusses the mechanics of analogy in semitic languages with a focus on Hebrew. Analogy is the term for the process by which verbs that share certain qualities come to use the same sets of inflections, and this series of papers presents a clear and systematic overview of how this process functions, particularly in Hebrew. Students of Biblical Hebrew will find this a useful examination of this key and difficult facet of Semitic languages.
