Roundup in Classical Biblical Hebrew diachronics

Very little has come by in the past week, so I'll just run a link-list tonight. We're on-topic of diachronic biblical-Hebrew linguistics.

Specifically: Classical, as opposed to LBH which everyone seems to agree is its own (Second-Temple) thing. Tania Notarius is working the other end, the poetry, which tracks closer to early offshoot Ugaritic. Aaron Hornkohl thinks he can sus the prose, which he's done in open-access (yay!). But Hornkohl has critics. The Hornkohl critics at least take him seriously which we don't do (say) for Eric Weinstein.

To the degree I am a Semitist, which isn't much, that not-much is even less much in Hebrew. So I'm not here taking sides.
