Chris:
That depends on the role of L)MR in a sentence.
If it were a command, it would be "...CWH...L)MR..."
A declaration "...XWH...L)MR..."
An expression "...DBR...L)MR..."
A shout "...C(Q...L)MR..."
A complaining murmer "...RGN...L)MR..."
From these and other examples, the phrase L)MR is not a
verb, but the equivelant to the English word "quote" to put
into words what is commanded, declared, expressed, shouted
and so forth. An English example would be "As he sank in the
quicksand, he shouted, quote, Get me out of here!"

Karl,
It seems to me that the verb, however, does not mitigate the _direct
discourse_ presented at the end of 2 Sam 24:1. YHWH, or perhaps more
precisely the anger of YHWH, "says" (אמר )MR) to David, "Go,
count ..." That is much more than "allowing."
Chris
