The construct LMW occures over 50 times in Tanakh. Though the
majority of its uses are for plural subjects, it refers to what is

I have run into before who insisted that LMW had to be plural did so
for ideological, not linguistic, reasons.

L/F^MOW is a plural form. For a discussion, and some literature, see
