Karl,

No, I claim that סוך "to hedge in" (Jb38:8),  "to shelter" (Jb3:23)(Jb40:22)(Ps91:4), "to defend" (Ps5:12) 
is derived / evolved from  שוך  "to hedge in (protectively)" (Jb1:10)(Ex33:22). 
And that סךך to cover over snugly (Ex25:20,29)(Ex40:3,21)(Ek28:14)(CrI28:18),
evolved from סוך .

And I believe ש (Sin) to have been a voiceless alveolar lateral fricative.

David:

So you claim that יסך is a misspelling for ישך?

The verb here is SWK meaning "to hedge in," not NSK "to pour forth."
