Hi Karl!

My search shows that the plural segholate form with 3mp suffix does not
preserve the segholatisation, but rather reverts to the original vowel:
DiGLeYHeM. This is as expected with any segholate.

If the segholate were *singular* with a 3mp suffix, then the form would be
DiGLaM (again with appropriate reversion). But this particular semantic
combination for this word never occurs in the Hebrew Bible.

Best Regards,

George:

You missed it. DeGLaM is not once found in Tanakh, DeGeLeYHeM is found
three times, according to a quick electronic search of the text.
