Pere:
Starting with Genesis 1:12 "its kind" MYNHW, again in Genesis 6:20 and 7:14.
R)H "neighbor" has the -W suffix over 100 times as R(HW. MQNHW is found 8
times. If I looked more, I could probably find many more examples.
Looking up words ending in -HW turns up over 1500 items, most of which are
verbs.
Incidentally, looking up Y$RTW which was the form I expected to find for the
noun Y$RH, I found the verb $RT for every example.
