In my zeal to combine Hebrew with something and Greek with everything, a thought came to me: what if the Greek element of the Philistines (whom I assumed to be mixed well and served hot) succeeded in dominating the 'confederation'. This Greek would be slightly post- Mycenenean. Then the conquest of Philistia by the Kingdom of Israel led to the development of a Canaanite/Israelite dialect that contained many Greek words adapted to a Semitic frame (I'm thinking of situation similar to Tagalog-infused Spanish). Thoughts?
