I have been reading:

Joachim Jeremias. "Abba." The Prayers of Jesus. Philadelphia:
Fortress Press. 1978. Pp. 11-65.

Jeremias sites the phrases )BYNW $B$MYM in Note 8 (p 16) and )BY $B$MYM
on p 22 and in Note 41 (p 22) and other places.

$B$MYM is identifed as Hebrew and translated as "who lives in heaven".

Is the perfix $B a form of Y$B? What is the nature of the construction?

In Note 16 (p 17) is the phrase DB$MY) quoted from a prayer. What is
the prefix DB?
