Can you tell me what part(s) you disagreed with (or misunderstood)?
One of the reasons I ask is because I just has the computer calculate the stuff.
Another reason is that by looking at your last message I would assume we are in agreement - as to me the <M> being from <MIN> makes more sense than it coming from <MFH>.

So please explain.

Thanks for the analysis. I found I disagreed with most of it (or else
misunderstood it).

The 1 Chronicles 15:13 verse appears to be a contraction of MN.

2 Chronicles 30:3 the contraction of MN makes the most sense, though
awkward.

I think it has something to do with the vocalization preserved by the
Masoretes, and I'm not going to argue where theirs came from.
