Ashpa is a feminine noun. Ashpot and Ashpatot are plural forms of the
feminine noun Ashpa.

Dear Noam,
Several years ago I used the "Davidson", where every word that appears in
the Hebrew Bible is fully parsed, but I have it nor more on my desk. Maybe
you could acquire it... I think the full author's name is Benjamin Davidson.
Now, regarding "A$POT", I think it should be found in a usual Concordance
because it appears both in Psa 113:7 and in 1Sa 2:8: its is a masculine noun
meaning *refuse-heap, a beggar's resting place.*
I assume you know that the "M" in the beginning is the well known
preposition "MN", that means *from, since...*
**
Regarding "YFRYM" is comes from "RWM", *be high*. It is a Hiph'il form
(Imperfect, third person singular masculine)
Look at www.oham.net/out/PI-d/PI-d066.html
EBYWN I think you should find it in your dictionary: it is an adjective
meaning "(male) poor". It appears as such 15 times in the Bible.
