John,

I know this was addressed to Isaac Fried. I just wanted to let you
know that this word definitely exists. It is listed in Davidson's
/Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon/.

It only appears once, apparently, and it's got a suffixed pronoun.
Here is the reference:

Hosea 7:4
כֻּלָּם מְנָאֲפִים כְּמוֹ תַנּוּר בֹּעֵרָה מֵאֹפֶה יִשְׁבּוֹת מֵעִיר
מִלּוּשׁ בָּצֵק עַד-חֻמְצָתוֹ׃
KLM MN)PYM KMW TNWR B(RH M)PH Y$BWT M(YR MLW$ BCQ (D-XMCTW

As was already pointed out, there is nothing strange about this word
in the least.

Regards,
Jason Hare
Rehovot, Israel
