["Harold R. Holmyard III" <hholmyard AT ont.com>]

Dear Marko,

I apologize. I wrote GLG but meant GLH in the last line of the following
sentence:

The subsequent rejection of the final Nun seemed to be confirmed by the
form MGDWN, once used (Zch 12:11) for MGDW (and conversely in Pr 27:20
Kethiv )BDH Qere )BDW for )BDWN "destruction), also by the fact that for
$LMH the LXX give the form SOLWMWN or SALWMWN, and especially that in
patronymics and tribal names a Nun appears before the termination I, as in
GYLNY ("Gilonite") from GLG and $YLNY from $YLH (modern name SAILUN).

                                Yours,
                                Harold Holmyard
