Formation of Hebrew Words from Roots. Hebrew words are formed from roots by changing vowels and by adding a wealth of prefixes and suffixes to that root. Prefixes can be prepositions (in, on, of, to, etc.), articles (the), or other things.t's the same root as the Hebrew word chai (life or living) which you commonly see on Jewish jewelry, and the Jewish toast l'chayim! (to life!) The Shin prefix turns the verb into a noun indicating a person who does the thing (who).
Miguel de Cervantes, in full Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (born September 29?, 1547, AlcalÃ¡ de Henares, Spainâdied April 22, 1616, Madrid) Spanish novelist, playwright, and poet, the creator of Don Quixote (1605, 1615) and the most important and celebrated figure in Spanish literature.
In the dedication, written three days before he died, Cervantes, âwith a foot already in the stirrup,â movingly bade farewell to the world. Clear-headed to the end, he seems to have achieved a final serenity of spirit. He died in 1616, almost certainly on April 22, not on the 23rd as had been traditionally thought.
