10 February, 1996,

In addition to Andrew Gross's comments in reply to Mark and Beth
LaRocca-Pitts, one might add two things.

1.  -hmh is a very common Qumran substitute for the suffix -hm.  Likewise
-hnh for -hn, -kmh for -km, etc..

2.  In general, a more up-to-date reference for the grammar of Qumran Hebrew
than Kutscher is Elisha Qimron's _The Hebrew of the Dead Sea Scrolls_ (HSS,
29; Atlanta: Scholars, 1986).
