[Ben Spackman <spackman AT uchicago.edu>]

I'm currently taking an introductory OSA class. The Sabaen Dictionary by 
Beeston Ghul Ryckmans and Muller references the cognate under 'l (an d'lh 
refers back to it) but lists 'lh as an alternate form, 'l'lt as the m.pl. 

I don't know anything about the geographic or diachronic differences in form, 
so I can't be any help there. We did read a text today with 'lh in it, and 
Gene 
Gragg, the prof. didn't point out anythign unusual about it, so I'm guessing 
that the two forms are about equally used.
