Tonight I started a discovery course of Hebrew. Just for me

I checked the alphabet
Similar system of consonants and strong vowels on which you append unwritten short vowels

Then I went on with the words that are close to Arabic, which I started to learn 20 years ago (not seriously enough): I still remember though how to pronounce most of arabic letters, and remember some vocabulary

I post my "course", because I recognize many of the words: THREAD will be LONG

"Finally, basing our discussion in part on an examination of the reading marks that Newton left in the surviving copies of Hebrew grammars and lexicons that he owned, we will argue that his interest in Hebrew was not intended to achieve linguistic proficiency but remained limited to particular theological queries of singular concern."
