goofing around with sed/awk for searching biblical database. interesting
looking at the contrast -iw vs -ihu with the 3ms suffix. looks like a
pretty good diagnostic of late material if -ihu. e.g., piw vs pihu for
"mouth", 24/77 distributed over postbiblical pretty clearly. (odd
diachronically, when you think about it, though)

but here's my question: if the data is *so* clear, but then you get an odd
instance in, say, 1 kings, does that mean that you have to give up on the
diagnostic? and if not, what about a hit in exodus or 1 kings?
