The interchange of final nun and mem is a phenomenon well-attested in the Dead Sea Scrolls. I mention this in my notes at http://www.academia.edu/1739015/Qumran_Hebrew_compared_to_Biblical_Hebrew

Waltke-O'Connor give a number of examples in IBHS 7.4b; and Joüon-Muraoka discuss the phenomenon in 90.3. It is also discussed in GKC 87e. Most of these are poetic and later texts. Other places where this occurs are Judg 5:10; 1 Kgs 11:33; 2 Kgs 11:13; Ezek 4:9; 26:18; Micah 3:12; Job 4:2; 24:22; 31:10; Prov 31:3; Lam 1:4; 4:3.
