“lest that which is displeasing, even my death, sticks to me.” This example
looks like a noun to me.

MWT with a suffix is at times spelled as MT + suffix, e.g. Deuteronomy 34:7,
2 Kings 15:5.

Do you have more examples, as one isolated example does not show a pattern,
as this example in its context can also be read as a noun. To show a
pattern, it would be better to have at least a few examples where there is
no question that they must be read as verbs.
