Thank you for continuing to help me here. Yes, you may be right about `abdeka, and certainly about "your humble servant", that they are analysable. But I am far from sure that this is not true of Turkish "bendeniz", especially since the variant "bendeleri" is found, and these forms are very clearly the second and third person plural possessed form of a known noun "bende". Yet you put forward the Turkish as an example. So I remain a bit confused about the criteria.
But does it matter? It is less important to decide whether certain Hebrew forms fit someone's rather unclear (at least to me) definitions and theories than to decide what actually happens in Hebrew.
