Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The article provides an analysis of the vocabulary of the Samaritan Pentateuch, distinguishing it from the Masoretic Text in terms of phonology, morphology, and interpretive tradition. It highlights the Samaritan Pentateuch’s unique textual features, such as orthographic variations and phonological shifts, while noting its lack of uniformity compared to the Masoretic Text. Differences are examined through examples of morphological distinctions used for semantic differentiation, such as the specialised meanings of verbs and nouns in the Samaritan tradition. The study also explores the modernisation of the Samaritan Pentateuch’s language, with an emphasis on phonetic simplification and the reinterpretation of rare or archaic forms. Though differences in lexical inventory are rare, the Samaritan community’s interpretive traditions significantly shape the vocabulary and meaning of terms within the text.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
