Mythology among the Hebrews and Its Historical Development
Goldziher, Ignác
Jewish mythology; Judaism -- History -- To 70 A.D.
I must refer those readers who are not sufficiently familiar with the
terminology to Steinthal’s _Abriss der Sprachwissenschaft_, Berlin
1871, vol. I., where all this is fully discussed in the section
_Elementare psychische Processe_.
Footnote 106:
But it is to be observed that some of the expressions produced by
Polyonymy [multitude of names] survive the process of fusion and
remain with the original signification; thus e.g. several names for
Moon in Hebrew. On such names Synonymy, a secondary function of
conscious speech, then performs its work.

Footnote 108:
On the Pronoun Wilhelm von Humboldt’s essay, _Ueber die Verwandtschaft
der Ortsadverbien mit dem Pronomen_, Berlin 1830, still deserves
study. See also what is said below (Chap. V. § 6) on Âshêr.

Both wind and rain are placed in connexion with the night in the

rîḥu-sh-shimâli biḳurrihâ * fî kulli leylatin dâjinin wa-hutûni, ‘the
Northwind blows over it with his coldness every cloudy rainy night.’

In other countries also human sacrifices have been abolished by a
reform of religion, and sacrifices limited to beasts and vegetables;
e.g. in Mexico, where the reform is attributed to Quetzalcoatl. See
Waitz, _Anthropologie der Naturvölker_, IV. 141.
Footnote 119:
The Sunset is child of Night only if we keep before our eyes the
mythical identity of the Morning and Evening Glow, according to § 2 of
this chapter.
