The first, which lasted until the close of the Tannaitic era (around the year 200), is characterized by RH as a spoken language gradually developing into a literary medium, in which the Mishnah, Tosefta, <i>baraitot</i> and Tannaitic <i>midrashim</i> would be composed. The second stage begins with the <i>Amoraim</i>, and sees RH being replaced by Aramaic as the spoken vernacular, surviving only as a literary language.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Phonology">Phonology</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Mishnaic_Hebrew&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Phonology" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <p>Many of the characteristic features of Mishnaic Hebrew pronunciation may well have been found already in the period of Late Biblical Hebrew.

Scrolls</a>. Some, but not all, are retained in <a href="/wiki/Modern_Hebrew" title="Modern Hebrew">Modern Hebrew</a>. </p><p>For the expression of possession, Mishnaic Hebrew mostly replaces the <a href="/wiki/Construct_state" title="Construct state">construct state</a> with analytic constructions involving <span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">של</span></span> 'of'.<sup id="cite_ref-renamed_from_2_on_20110328184818_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-renamed_from_2_on_20110328184818-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Mishnaic Hebrew lacks the <a href="/wiki/Waw-consecutive" class="mw-redirect" title="Waw-consecutive">waw-consecutive</a>. </p><p>The past is expressed by using the same form as in Modern Hebrew. For example, <i><a href="/wiki/Pirkei_Avot" title="Pirkei Avot">Pirqe Avoth</a></i> 1:1: <span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">משה קיבל תורה מסיני</span></span> "Moses received the Torah from Sinai". </p><p>Continuous past is expressed using the past tense of "to be" + participle, unlike Biblical Hebrew. For example, <i>Pirqe Avoth</i> 1:2: <span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">הוא היה אומר</span></span> "He often said". </p><p>Present is expressed using the same form as in Modern Hebrew, by using the participle (<span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">בינוני</span></span>). For example, <i>Pirqe Avoth</i> 1:2 <span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">על שלושה דברים העולם עומד</span></span> "The world is sustained by three things", lit. "On three things the world stands". </p><p>Future can be expressed using <span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">עתיד</span></span> + infinitive. For example, <i>Pirqe Avoth</i> 3:1: <span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">ולפני מי אתה עתיד ליתן דין וחשבון</span></span>. However, unlike Modern Hebrew but like contemporary Aramaic, the present active participle can also express the future.<sup id="cite_ref-renamed_from_2_on_20110328184818_6-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-renamed_from_2_on_20110328184818-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It mostly replaces the imperfect (prefixed) form in that function. </p><p>The imperfect (prefixed) form, which is used for the future in modern Hebrew, expresses an imperative (order), volition or similar meanings in Mishnaic Hebrew (the prefixed form is also used to express an imperative in Modern Hebrew). For example, <i>Pirqe Avot</i> 1:3: <span title="Hebrew-language text"><span lang="he" dir="rtl">הוא היה אומר, אל תהיו כעבדים המשמשין את הרב</span></span> "He would say, don't be like slaves serving the master...", lit. "...you will not be...". In a sense, one could say that the form pertains to the future in Mishnaic Hebrew as well, but it invariably has a modal (imperative, volitional, etc.) aspect in the main clause. </p> </section><div
