karl,

are plural nouns, that they indicate that the singular noun BRNYH was in BH.
This is a pattern that is found in Tanakh.
pere and i never claimed otherwise. by the way, i suspect that the non-radical
-NYH/-NYT singular suffix (as opposed to the
-H/-YT suffix) in nouns (as opposed to adjectives) is a diminutive form. again,
BYRH --> BYRNYT (capital --> central
fortification) is the only BH example i know but see also XMH --> XMNYH
(sunflower="small sun"), )ZNYH ("small ear").
