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.
