An additional question: Can we consider prefixes like ל or ה as separate words?
We will denote variants of translation governed by this hypothesis by '''Spaces Hypothesis''' title. With "additional question" (that it considering like ל or ה as separate words) we will denote it by the title '''Spaces Hypothesis with prefixes'''.
== Logical rationale for spaces hypothesis ==
Logically the following options may exist:
# never add nor remove any spaces in Tanakh text
# add but not remove spaces in Tanakh text
# remove but not add spaces in Tanakh text
# both add and remove spaces in Tanakh text
The variant 1 is expected to be wrong because some passages in Tanakh appear to boring when reading with standard spaces.
The variant 3 seems wrong, because it leads mainly to long nonsensical words.
The variant 4 is just ignoring spaces. But the scrolls claimed to be identical with original writings of Moses consist spaces, and total ignoring spaces would be against word of God.
So only the variant 2 remains.
== Current research status ==
[[User:Victor_Porton|Victor Porton]] started a research on Spaces Hypothesis. Preliminary result is that Spaces Hypothesis does not work, or at least Victor Porton was unable to manage to find this deeper meaning of Tanakh. Victor Porton tried to apply Spaces Hypothesis to Genesis 1:1-5:2. As it failed (and took too much time for the research), Victor decided now to try to apply Spaces Hypothesis only to proper names.
