2nd pers. m. in pause ־ֶ֫ כָה, e.g. כַּפֶּֽכָה (thy hand), ψ 1395, cf. Pr 2410; once חֹנָ֑ךְ ψ 536 (cf. the analogous cases in the verbal suffix § 75 ll); fem. ־ֵיךְ Ez 512 (in 1653 also for שְׁבִיתַ֫יִךְ probably שְׁבִיתֵיךְ is intended), ־ֵ֫ כִי Jer 1115, ψ 1033, 11619, 1359 (corresponding to the Aramaic suffix of the 2nd fem. sing.; on the wholly abnormal ־ֵ֫ כֵה Na 214, cf. l), לֵכִי Keth. 2 K 42, Ct 213. Also ־ָ֫ ךְ Is 221, Ez 2328, 254.

3rd pers. ־ֹה (cf. § 7 c), e.g. אָֽהֳלֹה Gn 921, 128, 133, 3521 (always with Qe אָֽהֳלוֹ); נֻחֹה Nu 1036; לֵחֹה Dt 347; בֻּלֹּה Jer 207, Na 21 Qe; קִצֹּה 2 K 1923 Keth., for which קִצּוֹ is read in Is 3724; עִירֹה and סוּתֹה Gn 4911, cf. Ex 2226 (Qe עִירוֹ, סוּתוֹ); סֻבֹּה ψ 109, 275 Keth.; הֲמוֹנֹה Ez 3118, &c., Keth.; תְּבוּאָתֹה Ez 4818 [altogether fourteen times in the Pentateuch, and some forty times in other books: see Driver, Samuel, p. xxxv, and on 2 S 29, 211].

3rd fem. ־ָה for ־ָהּ (with the softening of the Mappiq, cf. § 23 k, and the analogous cases in § 58 g) occurs repeatedly before Beghadhkephath and other soft consonants, Ex 918 (before וְ, if the text is right), Lv 134 (before ל), Nu 1528.31, 1 S 19 (unless אָכְלָה, the infin. with fem. termination, is intended; שָׁתֹה follows), Ez 1644, 246 (before ב), 1 S 2020, 2 K 86, Pr 1228 (before א), Na 39 (before וּ), ψ 4814 (before פ), Ez 4710, Jb 3122 twice (before ת), Is 212, Jer 2017 (before ה), Nu 3242, Am 111 (before ן), Lv 62 (before ע); even in pause, Lv 124 a and 5 b; Is 2317, Pr 2122, also with Zaqeph, Is 456, Jer 66 (probably), 4419; on הָשַּׁמָּה Lv 2634, &c., see § 67 y. Cf. also ־ָא Ez 365.—Sometimes the Masora appears (but this is very doubtful) to regard the ־ָהּ with feminines as a shortening of ־ָתָהּ, e.g. נִצָּהּ Gn 4010 for נִצָּ֫תָהּ, פִּנָּהּ Pr 78 for פִּנָּ֫תָהּ; also ־ָם for ־ָחָם in כִּתְבוּנָם Ho 132, and עָרְמָם Jb 513. The examples, however, are for the most part uncertain, e.g. in Is 284 the reading is simply to be emended to בִּכּוּרָה, and in Zc 42 to גֻּלָּה, Jb 119 to מִדָּה, Neh 514 to פֶּחָה. [See also, after prepositions, § 103 g.]

 [f Plur. 1st pers. ־ָ֫ נוּ, in pause קִימָ֫נוּ Jb 2220 (where, however, קָמֵ֫נוּ is certainly to be read); cf. Ru 32 [Is 4710, cf. § 61 c, h], and so always כֻּלָּ֫נוּ all of us, Gn 4211, &c [cf. בָּנוּ, לָנוּ, אִתָּנוּ, עִמָּנוּ].

2nd pers. fem. כֶ֫נָה Ez 2348.49.

3rd pers. masc. ־ָ֫ מוֹ ψ 1710 (on מוֹ in פִּ֫ימוֹ in the same verse, and in ψ 587 see .l); ־ָ֑ הַם 2 S 236, according to Sievers probably to call attention to the reading כלהם. fem. ־ָ֫ הְנָה 1 K 737, Ez 1653 (in pause); ־ֶ֫ נָה Gn 4121; ־ֶ֫ נָּה Gn 3041; ־ָ֫ נָה Ru 119; elsewhere generally in pause (Gn 2129, 4236, Jer 87, Pr 3129, Jb 392); finally הֵן as suffix to a noun, only in Is 317.

For examples of singulars with plural suffixes see l.

 [g 2. In the plural masc. and in the dual the suffixes are to be regarded primarily as affixed to the original ending of the construct state (־ַ֫ י, cf. § 89 d). This ending, however, has been preserved unchanged only in the 2nd fem. In most cases it is contracted to ־ֵי, as in the constr. st. without suffixes (so throughout the plur. and in the poetical suffix ־ֵ֫ יהוּ of the 3rd sing. masc.); in the 2nd masc. and 3rd fem. sing. it is ־ֶי (cf. k). On the 1st pers. and 3rd masc. sing. see i.—Thus there arise the following
