Just a random thought. One group who I think might be interested in potentially paying for a translation of the Geez Bible into English is the LDS. They seem to be heavily involved in lingistics and bible etc., translations. I believe it was in the Biblical Archeology Review and in writings by Orson Scot Card I read about this.
Great question. Yuge problem, but to keep it simple, we have in OT manuscripts a Greek tradition and a Hebrew tradition. The Greek is not an original, and says so within the text itself. The Greek was translated from a Hebrew text of which we have no surviving manuscripts. This Hebrew is more ancient than the current ones we have, and matches some parts of the manuscripts found in Qumran.
I’m looking for commentaries on apocrypha…. I don’t think it’ll happen in my lifetime :(
pray earnestly.
Thank you so much for this insightful clarification. May God continue to bless you always.
Amen!

What is meant by "translation from an ancient and lost Hebrew as evidenced by the Dead Sea Scrolls"?
