[Isaac Fried <if AT math.bu.edu>]

Take Qohelet 5:4

טוב אשר לא תדר, משתדור ולא תשלם

and replace $E- by ZEH: to have

טוב אשר לא תדר, מזה: תדור ולא תשלם

It appears to me that in many instances V- (VAV HA-XIBUR) stands for  
the latter $E-, for instance, Obadia 1:1

וציר בגוים שלח

that is essentially

שציר בגוים שלח
