Dear Listees,
   
  According to Benjamin Davidson’s Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon, 
(Michigan: Zondervan Publishing House, 1970), page 768, the verb UhreF.;faT4 
(teaterehu) in MT Psalm 8:6[5] is formed from a combination of a third person 
singular feminine imperfect piel verb, rF.;faT4 (teater) (rF.;faT4 (teater) 
is derived from the root verb, rFafA (tatar) meaning, I surround, I 
encompass),[1] and the third person singular masculine suffix, Uh (ho) 
meaning, him; UhreF.;faT4 (teaterehu) therefore literally meaning, ‘she will 
crown him’.[2]
   
  However this analysis of the verb, UhreF.;faT4 in MT Psalm 8:6[5] does not 
seem to fit the context of Psalm 8:6[5].
   
  What is your take on this please?
   
  Philip Engmann.
