Yes, the Hebrew is very interesting in its play on words sometimes. Sepher, sephar, sippur, text, number, speech. The first writing was cuniform.

Ok, so it is your contention that the Hebrew Sepher (I thought it was Cepher) is a play on words as the earliest "books" were the Cunieform tablet writing. Interesting. Do you have anything on this?
