  • Next message: James Kass: "Re: Phoenician character properties"

    I just saw the following posting on the Ancient Near Eastern email list.

    Interesting in light of the Phoenician and Archaic Greek discussions here, no?

    Notice the striking non-use of the term "Phoenician" in the conference
    title, using "West Semitic" instead.

    Maybe we should wait to see what comes out of this conference. I wish I
    could attend.
