Yes - thanks very much - I had identified the Exodus 2:20, but missed Gen. 
31:36 because I was going off of my list of "strong" verbs.
But it is surprising!

Gen 31:36 YeDa<TeN יְדַעְתֶּן. Remember that first yod roots
are regular in the suffix conjugation. Accordance only lists seven G
sc 2 f pl (traditionally, Qal perfect 2 fem plurals) in the Bible. Who
knew? There is also Exodus 2:20 <aZaBTeN עֲזַבְתֶּן which
deviated from the strong verb pattern only by having a compound shewa
under the ayin.
