Philippi's law refers to a sound rule in Biblical Hebrew first identified by F.W.M. Philippi in 1878, but has since been refined by Thomas O. Lambdin.〔 〕 Essentially, in Biblical Hebrew, sometimes the sound for ''i'' shifted to ''a'', but the reason for this development was unclear or debated. It is "universally supposed to be operative", according linguists in the field, but criticized as "Philippi's law falls woefully short of what one would expect of a 'law' in historical phonology...." Some critics suggested that it might not even be a rule in Hebrew, but rather a sound rule in Aramaic.〔 (''citing several sources in footnotes 19-27'').〕 Even Philippi, who mentions it in an article about the numeral '2' in Semitic, proposed that "the rule was Proto-Semitic" in origin.〔Huehnergard, John.
