The <M> in 1Chr 4:10,16 is a prefixed <M> coming from the lemma <MIN>, why do you think this is a participle?
The same is true for Eze 27:19,3 and Gen 38:24.
So again, why are are you saying they are participles?

You stated:

Another thing I was expecting from your question is to find -M- in the
middle of a word, following another prefix: except for the two that were the
subject of your original question, none of the examples you listed fit. They
were all at the beginning of the words.


If you read the message to which I was responding, the question was raised about if the occurrence of 2 or 3 prefixed prepositions occurs in the text or not - regardless of whether its a <M> or not.
So the first section of the read out was all the occurrences of <M> as a prefix, the second section was 2 or more prefixed prepositions grouped together, the third section was pronouns as a prefix..

Non of the examples I listed in the 2nd list DOES have a affixed <M> in the middle:

Gen 038:024,02 <K.:/MI/$:LO74$> --- 2


I guess for completeness, I should run an analysis of all the occurrences of <M> in the middle.
So be looking for that to be posted soon.


What I would like to heard from the board are those who think the two words originally given in this thread:

1chr 15:13 - word 2: <L:/MA/B.F/RI)$OWNFH>
2ch 30:3 - word 11: <L:/MA/D.AY

Should be considered as a pronoun, based on the lemma <MFH>, as myself I feel it would be a preposition based on the lemma <MIN>.

John:

1 Chronicles 4:10 the word MR(H from the root R(H to feed, give pasture,
used as a noun.

Ezekiel 27:19 M)WZL again used as a noun, referring to that which is made to
go out.

Genesis 38:24 M$L$ here a verb is used in Hebrew where we in English would
use merely a number.

In the samples I listed in the results, which ones are you saying are
participles?
