George:

I have and use the best dictionary that I know of. And it is 
getting better all the time.

I also checked the references you claimed for your strange 
reading, and, especially Exodus 4:25, I found that such a 
reading is neither necessary, nor even apparent, rather it 
is a stretch of credulity to make it fit.

Karl W. Randolph.
