<div dir="ltr">Layla is never feminine. It is from a form like *laylay, and the qomatz he at the end is unstressed, not a feminine ending. That is also the basis of the form Lele, as in lele p’sahim; it is not the s’mikgut of the plural, which is Lelot, with
the plural -ot as many masculine nouns have. The s’ikhut of the plural would be lelot-</div>
