# Wadi el-Hol Inscription 2 and the Early Semitic Alphabetic Graph *ǵ, *ǵull-, "yoke"

David S. Vanderhooft, 2013.

## What it's used for here

Hebrew Bible and Ancient Israel 2: 125-135. Proposes that a sign in the second Wadi el-Hol inscription writes the consonant ghayin, which Phoenician later merged with ayin; an example of how the sign count of the early alphabet is argued.
