Abstract
In an earlier paper more than twenty examples of the application of a technique of metathesis were discussed and reasons were provided why these permutations were most probably not due to a difference of Vorlage. During the research for the BHQ volume of Proverbs more than twenty additional examples were found and a number of them are presented in this communication. In some instances, this technique was used in combination with two other techniques: double translation and phonological transcription, to which separate attention is paid. Finally, some cases of omission of information are described which seem to have been ideologically motivated.
