Rezumat:[How Mendele Mokher Sfarim got it wrong: Abramowitsch’s 1866 phono-semantic matching of zoonyms, & why he named the Auks (Alcidae) the way he did]
A future famous novelist, in his Natural History Abramowitsch was the main moderniser of Hebrew zoonymy in the 19th century. We are concerned with his bird names from his volume on birds (1866), and in particular, with how he named the Auks (Alciformes) from the northern Atlantic. In a sense, we solve a mystery: it was the extinct Great Auk that was named (rather than e.g. the Razorbill) by phono-semantic matching to a hapax from the Hebrew Bible, alqum by interpreting that term as ‘no rising up’. This is because the Great Auk could not fly, and even more to the point, on the evidence of Abramowitsch relating about the named bird’s then apparent extinction, because that bird would never rise again. We also discuss how Abramowitsch named the Antarctic penguin, considering that originally, in European languages, the lexical type penguin used to be applied to a flightless alciform species that became extinct.
