Dear Listees,

 

this has been a fascinating discussion (throwing in several different angles); and I have ben following it with great interest.

 

However, my original question wasn't answered.

I recall another variant of פעם PAAM: פים PIYM of 1Sam. 13:21, 

and פימה PIYMAH, 'blob', of Job 15:27. Now: PIYMAH, double chin', 

practically a פיטמת בשר PITMAT BASAR under the chin.

1. I was under the impression that the PAAM of Is. 41:7 is a maul or somesuch 

heavy hammer with which one is הולם HOLEM a big whack, but anvil is also possible.  

2. I think that פעה PAAH (Is. 42:14) is a variant of בעה BAAH, 'emit', as in Is. 64:1(2). 

From this we have the present בעיה BAYAH, 'quandary, problem, question', which is, methinks, 

but a פעיה PAYAH of an inquiring mouth.
