...Not at all. The noun PANIYM in the absolute means "face", and takes no "object", and can be prefixed by L- to give a form LPANIYM. The noun PANIYM in the construct state, in the form PNEY, means "the face of", and must be followed by an "object". Prefix L-, and you get LIPNEY which means "to the face of" and thus "in the presence of", which must still be followed by an object and functions as preposition.
This explains lmo always taking an "object" and lamo never taking one -
the former is construct and the latter is absolute.
But that would mean, they are semantically different, wouldn't it? If lamo
doesn't take an object, how could it be employed in smihut in the first
place?
