than what is typical for Hebrew?
Hebrew: )WR-YH “The Lord is light” with the theophoric suffix
“Hittite”: )WRY-H “Lord” then what does the -H suffix stand for?
Uriah the Hittite is mentioned in 21 verses, not one has the variant -YHW
indicating that this is the theophoric suffix.
Three (four?) other people are named Uriah in Tanakh, mentioned in 12
verses, one of which Jeremiah (3 verses) gave the variant -YHW suffix.
