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׃

When I saw this post of yours:

In terms of pointing, both חֻמְצָה XUMCFH and
חֻמְּצָה XUM.CFH make perfect sense in their respective forms.

I thought that you were actually responding to my question. I was just pointing out that the words with the forms you had given doesn't appear in the text. That's all. :)
