Jesper:

I don’t know about Sepher Yetzirah, but in Biblical Hebrew מכונת MKWNT is derived from מכונה MKWNH “stand, upon which objects are placed” from the verb כון KWN “to establish, in the sense of setting up, making firm, trustworthy”.

I hope it's okay, if I also ask about the language in Sepher Yetzirah in this group, it should still be in the realm of biblical hebrew.

I'm wondering about the word מְכֻוֶּנֶת (M:KUW.ENET), can it somehow be derived from the word מְכוֹנָה (M:KWONFH place, abode)?
