Correct. Ta'iti. A list would either have a vav before all but the first word,
or only before the last one. I was thinking of the Gra's take on "haKeil,
haGadol, heGibbor, vehaNorah" as four nouns.

So, looking for lists of three...

Peri Eitz Chaim (sha'ar haAmidah pereq 3) has
"Melekh Ozeir" -- the Melekh is Binah, which is ozer tamud torah,
uMoshia - chesed, gevurah, tife'eres "hoshi'ah Yeminekh va'aneini",
          the Zero'ah
uMagein - the gimel rishonim, "she'ein lahem achizah kelal"

I don't get Qabbalah, but even on my level, it's interesting because
the Ari is also not giving a noun and three adjectives, rather a list
of three nouns, one of which has an adjective.

Tir'u baTov!
