This is an Aramaic question which has arisen as I'm working through the
Aramaic section of the Westminster MorphBHS...

In Ezra 6:9 the word for "burnt offering" is spelled (:ALFWFN, which is the
plural of some lemma.  BDB has it as (:ALFT, which others have listed it as
(:ALFH; the German edition of KBS (since the English translation is not yet
done for Aramaic) lists the consonants only as (LWH and then lists two
separate vocalizations:

(AL:WFH
(:ALFWFH

Can anyone give me any good reasons to select one over the other as the
actual lemma/lexeme that will appear in the WTS/GWW MorphBHS ??

Thanks...
