The word on its own almost always does mean the language in any context post 586BCE, but with the adjective "Ancient Hebrew" its most often an enthnonym - I may be wrong but out of the 34x used in the Tanakh, from "Abraham the Hebrew" "Joseph the Hebrew" through to Jeremiah 34:14 where we get the switch from עִבְרִי to Yehudi aren't they mainly ethnonyms, not anything to do with language. The only thing that is a little odd about this category is that "Ancient Hebrew" really relates to tabernacle-First Temple, yet I presume most of the instruments it is meant to capture would be found in the Second Temple too, and that is "Yehudi" not "Hebrew" ... perhaps it depends on one's view of the dating of the Psalms. Don't really have either a strong view, or any much better idea for a category name. Category:Musical instruments of the Hebrew Bible? In ictu oculi (talk) 09:32, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
"with the adjective "Ancient Hebrew" its most often an enthnonym" Agree. I was just raising the question whether we have anything better perhaps. Thanks for the comment. Debresser (talk) 15:54, 21 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
