Dear Yigal,

as an answer to your question and for the sake of a better understanding of
my question I send again my post with a little change:

In Gn 30:30 we have M(+, little, small (adjective singular, male).
In Gn 44:20 we have Q+N, little, small (adjective singular, male).

I'm looking for the contact points and the differences between the meaning
of these two adjectives.

M(+ is also used as an adverb, I know (cf Ps 8:6). But now and here my
interest is not on M(+ as an adverb.

My question is: in which aspect or sense they are the same thing (as regards
their true and real meaning) and in which aspect or sense they are
different?
