Since writing my note on the above subject, which was published in Vol. V, Part III, of the Bulletin, I have learned that an exactly similar explanation of the peculiarity of the Semitic numerals was put forward by Dr. David Künstlinger, first in the Vienna Oriental Journal, x, pp. 212–16, and subsequently in a pamphlet entitled Zur Theorie der Zahlwörter in den semitischen Sprachen, Berlin, 1897. I hasten to give Dr. Künstlinger all due credit for priority in formulating his theory of the syntax of Semitic numerals. I may add that before putting what I considered a new explanation before the public I had discussed my theory with a number of Semitic scholars. They, like myself, were not acquainted with Dr. Künstlinger's articles on the subject. It is to be regretted that the Hebrew grammars I have consulted did not even mention Dr. Künstlinger. I hope that this omission will be rectified in future grammars of Hebrew and other Semitic languages. I notice that Dr. Künstlinger, like myself, was indebted to ethnology for his explanation.
