What is the standard Biblical suffix for the feminine plural imperative?
-n, or -na? I had always thought it was -na, as in "ts'ena ur'ena",
and that "kiren lo" in last week's parsha is an exception. But someone
pointed out to me that there's also "vahamiten" in the same parsha, and
claimed that in the language of the Chumash this is the standard form,
but it had changed by the time Shir Hashirim was written. Can anyone
shed light on this?
