Randall Buth:

[Wayyisa meshalo wayomer]

"Note well: the fem. singular suffix is -a. The "-h" was never pronounced.
The older form of the singular suffix was *-at, which is why the
poss.pron. have
a 't' with them."

Compare colloquial Arabic usage which is like Hebrew, to the standard
classic Arabic used to to this day that retains this aspect of Proto-Semitic.
