Isaac,

I sincerely think that you should amend  -or, at least, update-  this
statement:

*A Hebrew word consists of a root plus personal pronouns (identity markers).
*
Word עִוֵּר, (male) blind (Ex 4:11) is a Hebrew word. Now, where the
personal pronouns (identity markers) are they? I see none.

 It is related, I think, to distinct developments of the usage of
> MAH מה and MIY מי
> Namely, MAMLAKAH = MA-MLAK-HA = MAH-MLAK-HIY.
> In Hebrew letters: ממלכה = מה-מלך-היא
> Recall, the all encompassing, fundamental statement of Hebrew grammar:

> A Hebrew word consists of a root plus personal pronouns (identity markers).
