Is this something which stikes others, as well as
myself, a very novice scholar?
It is striking, and there has been extensive discussion on the topic.
As always, start with the standard grammars (e.g. Gesenius, section 124) and
then go on to the standard references and commentaries, (e.g. Anchor Bible
Dictionary, "Names of Gd in the OT", vol IV, esp. p.1006).
Anyone have a citation for an article reviewing the literature?
