It is possibly a case where a personal pronoun U is read as a consonantal W,
as in אביו ABIYW, 'his father', as opposed to אמו IMO, 'his mother'.

This is also possibly the explanation for the WA in YHWH.

dear karl,

you consider WY$TXW and H$TXWH as representing two different roots. i
suspect
that this interpretation is incorrect: i consider them the same root,
except
that a final H in WY$TXW was dropped by apocope, as is the rule in all the
LH-irregular roots, in the ("short") wayiqtol form: WYR), WYBK etc.


Whoops, I see I was a little too quick in answering, gave wrong examples.
I’ve got to stop this remembering something, then looking quickly to get
verse numbers.

Look at Genesis 27:29 there is both WY$XW and WY$XWW for plurals, and in
Genesis 43:28 there’s WY$TXW. Both cases, the Masoretes gave an assumed
Qere for a Kethiv, is there any evidence from the DSS that the Qere is
correct? If not, then stick with the Kethiv.

I think this is methodologically very questionable procedure.
