De'vID:
More fuel for the fire...
Is /jubbe'/ an exception? Or could /jubHa'/ mean something other
than "mortal"? Perhaps the "undo" meaning applies here, and
/jubHa'/ applies to someone who used to be immortal, and isn't
any longer? Or maybe the "mis-" meaning is the right one, and
/jubHa'/ is someone who is immortal but in a bad way. (Any number
of myths where a person gains immortality at the expense of being
cursed in one way or another comes to mind.)
Or perhaps /jubbe'/ and /jubHa'/ can both mean "be mortal", and
/jubbe'/ is preferred for unknown cultural reasons?
This /-Ha'/ thing is quite confusing...
