The Hebrew 

Gen. 25:16 )lh hM bny

looks like the same sort of construction as

)lyN )nwN rbny

Is this correct? 

Got some help off list on this and spend some time with Waltke/O'Conner's
discussion of pronouns in verbless clauses. Need to spend more time with
Waltke/O'Conner. Excellent book :-)))

My only resource on Aramaic is Greenspahn.

Is it uncool to talk about Aramaic here? We talk about Ugaritic don't we?
