Coul 'adam be used here in the sense of "common person", as (according
to many) in Psalm 49:3, 62:10? In this case the speaker could be
claiming that he is a common peasant who never had the chance to become
someone special like a prophet.
But this still doesn't explain the hiphil of QNH, otherwise unattested.
I did wonder if this could be a denominative from QNH = cane, so meaning
that "a man had me beaten with canes", leading into verse 6.
