["Karl Randolph" <kwrandolph AT email.com>]

This verb is usually connected with Y)$ with the meaning of despairing. 
However, Y)$ as a verb is found only once, in Ecclesiastes 2:20. In Job 6:26 
we find a possible other root N)$ with a possible meaning of quitting an 
ongoing action, i.e. to knock it off. That meaning seems to fit better in 
Isaiah 57:10 and Jeremiah 2:25. Any thoughts on the matter? Any cognate 
language clarifications?
