".... to be "Lashon Mikra veLashon Hakhamim" by Bendavid "

  The the correct transliteration of this Hebrew title is:

"L'eshon Mikra Ul'eshon Hakhamim". 

  Yes, the construct state and the rules of BWMP (Bumaph),

for the conjunctive Waw, still happily exist.

   It is a scholarly work and was never intended to be

 a grammer book.

In Psalm 79:11 the subject is a groan, in 88:2 it is my petition.
