Verb
Again, only if you revowel. If you disagree please sight an infinitive
with these vowels anywhere in the Tanakh.

If there were not the words Ba'derech before, and lo after, and if
the lamed was "la" instead of "le", then maybe a noun

This would be a difference of definite vs indefinite noun but both are
completely possible and the indefinite makes sense in this context.
"for an adversary to him"

None of this seems to amount to hill of beans anyway since neither
changes the meaning.
