The -MW suffix is used well over 170 times in Tanakh, less than a
third of those connected to the L- prefix. When we take into account
all the uses of the suffix, there are several times that it refers to
a singular object. That is more than the at least three times
(Genesis 9:26-27, Isaiah 44:15) that it is connected to the L- prefix
referring to a singular object. Examples include Genesis 19:15
referring to the dawn, Exodus 15:5 where it refers to "a stone",
shall I go on? You need to refer to all of these uses, not to
restrict yourself to those connected to the L- prefix.
I was referring here to the form *LF^MOW*; you, however (in the
Genesis and Exodus passages mentioned above) to L:MOW and K.:MOW, which are separate lemmas.
I have not followed the discussion. But looking at the above examples,
there is no use of L:MOW and it seems that K:MOW corresponds to the "MW" suffix applied to K as it is applied to L in LFMOW (I suppose F is
kamatz, and I guess ^ is a meteg. I don't remember these offhand.) I am not
even sure that the kamatz isn't related to LFMOW being at the sof-pasuk
whereby had it been a word-prefixed form like K:MOW perhaps it too might
have taken a "L:MOW" form.
So some of the examples in Genesis (9:26-7) and the example of Isaiah 44:15
are all uses of the exact same word as you refer to. Your comment about "L:MOW" then is simply misplaced as it takes Karl's examples and misquotes
them.
