Dear Alastair,

In Arabic "damamah" means being small/short and "deqah" means 
narrowness/sharpness , "daqah" means he/it struck him and it is sometimes 
used with "hearing" i.e qol daqa sam'ah = the voice struck his hearing.

In Job 4:16 a similar phrase occurs: " Demamah vaqol ashma'" It seems that 
"demamah" is a type of voice that is short/quite/calm and not an adjective, 
this is why it retains the feminine structure after qol in 1 Kings 19:12 and 
in Job 4:16 it occurs interchangeably with "qol". In Psalms 107:29 It says 
that He made/turned the storm into a "demamah" (yaqom se'arah le-demamah)

Regards,

Dave.
