1. I don't know if Y$UATAH ישועתה of Ps. 3:3 is an older form, a "poetic" form, or merely a alternate grammatical form that was in use somewhere among the Israelites. What I am convinced of is that it is not a mere T-suffix", but rather the personal pronoun ATAH אתה referring to salvation itself. Otherwise, it is the shorter Y$UAH ישועה ending in HI היא

2. In Ps. 6:5 we find the "irregular" form XALCAH חלצה '(please) extricate', instead of the "regular" piel form XALEC חַלֵּץ In this construction, the internal personal pronoun E for the actor is placed at the end as AH היא
