as regards the internal pronoun, O = HW), would you say that where the
plural is dealt with it would also be HW) = he?

Samples: Ezr 7:28 (6th. word); 2Ch 22:4 (11th word)...

I think that here it would rather mean "they"... would it not?
If so, then would the pronoun O = HW) mean both "he" and "they"?
