Does anyone have any ideas on the 2nd.fem.sg. ending, as attached to
plural nouns, -aykhi (Gesenius-Kautzsch p. 258)? Iknow that the
2nd.fem.sg suffix in general was originally -kii, but original -ay-
usually monophthongizes in oenvironements like this... Also, this
ending only appears in two passages where the fem.sg. "you" being
addressed is the soul.
