Hello,

I have a question in regards to Isaiah 52:5.  There is a verb yehēlīlū the 
hiphil 3rd person plural from the root YLL which is generally translated as 
"they howled".  Most of the time that a verb derived from YLL is used it is 
in the imperative (You howl!) but at least in Micah 1:8 it occurs in the as 
the hiphil (first person singular imperfect).

So my question is this: Is the verb yehēlīlū a hapax legomenon since this is 
the only time it occurs (that I can find any how) in the 3rd person plural?  
Any thoughts are appreciated.
