The very same CL has the evidence: Jeremiah 46:16. It is written as one
word <Hebr> )L(MNW <endHbr> with no separation, in fact the Lamed and the
ayin are
joined. I checked the CL from the facsimile edition by freedman published
by Eerdmans.
Contrary to your statement, <Hebr> (MNW )L in Isaiah 7:14, 8:8 and 8:10 does
show a separation as compared with Jeremiah 46:16.
