>>> PERE: as Nir said in another post, HWMYH in Is 22:2 is not a noun (it is a
participle, feminine singular, acting as an adjective).
>>> KARL: Using the context as a guide, which indicates we should
look for a noun in this place, I call it a noun.
>>> KARL:On what basis do you call it a participle acting as an adjective?
... and on what basis do you call it a noun?
neither pere nor i see it as a
noun, especially if you examine the way it is inserted in the phrase, i.e.
followed by (L. we see it as describing an action, a participle. we also gave
two etymologies which favor interpretation as a participle: to veil and to
flock upon.

>>> Do you have other examples of where the plural of a feminine noun ending
in a -H has the plural form ending in -NYWT? Where are they found in Tanakh?
it is the normal way for a feminine noun ending in a -YH to become -YWT. and
if the last letter in N, so -NYH becomes -NYWT.
but sometimes also -H without a Y becomes -YWT. thus, M$NH becomes M$NYWT. i
am sure pere can find more BH examples.
