LOL. Would you believe from memory?
I'm mostly kidding. I have a very good Hebrew concordance. I looked up
nouns that I knew where qametz-qametz nouns. Then scanned the forms
they appeared in looking for the lamed prefix being used where the
noun was indefinite. Most of the nouns I could think of were not
attested in that specific form but i got lucky on several of them. But
both lists were made the old fashioned way: out of books not bytes.
