B-Hebrew: The Biblical Hebrew Forum

I came across several instances of a pronominal for third masculine singular that uses a mappiq. I have only seen this in the 3fs form so I was surprised to see this. I have not been able to locate any information about this in my textbook or other resources. It may be there, but I have not been able to find it.

An example is in Daniel 7:14 - וְלֵ֨הּ.

Where can I read more or find out more about this?

Thank you. I feel a bit foolish.

If the Jews of the period had chosen to write Aramaic in different alphabet shapes, it would have prevented problems like this. It isn’t your fault. If you haven’t studied Aramaic, how are you to know?
