Does anyone have any idea why there is no mappiq in the last letter of the word LH, third word from last in Num. 32:42? The mappiq is missing in both BHS and in the Aleppo-based Breuer prints.

This question of yours maybe could refer as well to the same word in Rt 2:14 and in Zc 5:11?
A way to find an answer to this question would perhaps be: are there in the Bible some other cases where a final suffix H meaning "her" or "she" (and that from a theoretical viewpoint should have the mappiq dot) lacks mappiq?
