Abstract
The tractate Eruvin of the Babylonian Talmud cites three stories, presented as a single concatenated whole, with all three sharing a single feature: they all have recourse to “language of wisdom” as a medium ascribed to each protagonist. The present article focuses on the first story in isolation from the others, placing emphasis on the Aramaic root / q.f.y as a special case in connection with studying, on the basis of which the Aramaic word ve-titqfey is formed.
