Karl,

 

as Nir said in another post, HWMYH in Is 22:2 is not a noun (it is a participle, feminine singular, acting as an adjective).

The same, for instance, as PRYH in Ps 128:3 or HMYH in Pr 7:11.

Coming back to our (+YH (Song 1:7), this is  --unfortunately for this discussion--   the only sample in the entire Tanakh of a Qal Participle, singular feminine, of a verb lamed-heh.

You are quite right that many nouns are found ending -YH.

Now, what refers to BYRNYH (as you write it), fortified place ----------> the right basic form is BYRNYT (2Ch 17:12) (*), derived from or built on  BYRH, castle, palace (2Ch 29:1)

If finelly, after your study of the word in Song 1:7, you decide it is a noun....   I have nothing else to say thereon. 

 

(*) Remark the final T letter and the suffix -NYT. This -NYT is quite uncommon in the Tanakh... but it is very common in today Israeli Hebrew.to indicate feminines: SAFRANYT, (female) librarian or KATVANYT, (female) writer, for some samples.

 

Quite friendly,

 

Pere Porta

Karl,

 

is noun HWMYH, commotion, found in the Tanakh? 

If yes, where does it appear?

Isaiah 22:2 “Storms fill the city and commotion the market town…” 

 

Greetings.
