Your argument is very clear to me, except that I still don't see HOW
the particle, to use your terminology, -UT turns a noun into an
abstract noun.

__________

Melek, king ---------> malkut (malk-ut), royalty (1Ch 29:25)

How can this -ut be explained as a combining of personal pronouns?

For confirmation: in Israeli Hebrew.... there are plenty of cases where a final -ut means an abstract concept:

1. adom, red ---------> admut, redness
2. pikeaH, seer (Ex 4:11) ----------> pikHut, cleverness
3. sefer, book ---------> sifrut, literature
etc. etc.
