The construct LMW occures over 50 times in Tanakh. Though the
majority of its uses are for plural subjects, it refers to what is
unquestionably a singular subject often enough that the numerical
value of the -MW cannot be determined from the form. The only people
I have run into before who insisted that LMW had to be plural did so
for ideological, not linguistic, reasons.
