Lamentations in E-Prime with Hebrew Interlinear in I.P.A.
NASB Copyright 1995 by The Lockman Foundation
E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all to be verbs (is,
are, were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the is of identity (instead of John
is a teacher, we use John teaches), the is of predication (instead of The apple is sweet, we
use The apple tastes sweet), as well as the passive voice and phantom subjects (instead of
Blessed is the man, we use God blesses the man). By performing these linguistic
procedures, we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and sparkling document.
Pronunciation Guide and Flashpoints for English Speakers
The International Phonetic Alphabet was launched in 1888 in England by Henry Sweet and
Elmer Wiggins, founders of the International Phonetic Association. The International Phonetic
Alphabet is an alphabetic system of notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet with
borrowings if the Latin alphabet does not contain the sound. The beauty of the IPA is that it is
100% phonetic, while the English Alphabet (though derived from the Latin alphabet) is only
60% phonetic, making pronunciation chancy. The best transliteration schemes are also hit and
miss. Using the IPA pronunciation, one symbol represents one sound. The consonants are the
most stable elements of the language, but the violent vowels and the diabolical diphthongs will
cause trouble continually. Consequently, here are the potential flashpoints that may up-end
English speakers as they try to negotiate the pronunciation of the Interlinear Greek and Hebrew
IPA texts.
