There are cases where there are lists of nouns lacking the expected W-
prefixes, an example being the list of names that begins Chronicles.
It is possible that this is a copyist error, which is why I asked about
Qumran examples. If so, the answer we got to my question indicates it would
have had to have been very early.
A possible translation I see, “…for you have been caused to be great over
all, even your name and saying.”
