...What root XWH? BDB lists three such roots: XWH as a Phoenician variant of XYH; XWH for "tent-village"; and XWH meaning "tell, declare". None have a derived noun XY. I think you are thinking of the root XYH "live". While "hollow" verbs with W and Y are sometimes interchangeable, I don't think they are here.
(Actually, CW is the imperative form of the verb CWH which the author
may have used here for its poetic effect, though it is also a
legitimate noun derivation from CWH.)
The root XWH has the noun XY, not XW. Can you give other examples of
how this noun is derived from similar roots?
