Excerpt from A Grammar of the Hebrew Language The remarks upon the consecution of poetic accents were in type before the appearance of the able discussion of that subject by Baer, in an appendix to the Commentary of Delitzsch upon the Psalms; The rules of Baer, however, depend for their justification upon the assumption of the accurate accentuation of his own recent edition of the He brew Psalter, which departs in numerous instances from the current editions as they do in fact from one another. Inas much as this is a question which can only be settled by manuscripts that are not accessible in this country, it seems best to wait until it has been tested and pronounced upon by those who are capable of doing so. What has here been written on that subject, has accordingly been suffered to re main, imperfect and unsatisfactory as it is. The laws which regulate the formation of nouns have been derived from Ewald, with a few modifications chiefly tending to simplify them.
