This is not entirely clear to me. Do you mean שלך $ELKA, 'yours', which in my opinion is the compound של-אכה $EL-AKAH, where AKAH is a variant of אתה ATAH; and שלכם $ELAKEM, 'yours', which in my opinion is the compound של-אכם $EL-AKEM, where AKEM is a variant of אתם ATEM, that is by itself the compound את-הם AT-HEM?
