These are the questions addressed in the current essay, which presents the inspection of nouns appearing in a recent newspaper, and their categorization according to the different periods in the history of the Hebrew language. The current thesis proposes the division into fourteen sets which account for each of the classical periods of the Hebrew language, as well as seven other stages, which are shown to have contributed to the Hebrew lexis in providing new meanings to existing words. Thus, a native Hebrew word which originated in an early period might appear at a later period bearing a different semantic value.
