Description

The wayq.1cs form of >MR[ in 1Kgs 12:6 unexpectedly has a milʕel stress (on the penultimate syllable). Do we find this elsewhere? — Yes, but not often: once in Isa 41:9 and twice in Ezek 16:6 (vs. 86 cases with milraʕ/word-final accent). The reason for these cases is probably in the following word: in all four cases the form is followed by the preposition L with a personal suffix, 3× -K, 1× -W. It would be understandable if the stress were retracted due to a following stressed syllable (nsiḡå); that explains most cases (incl. וָאֹמַ֫ר לָהֶם/לָכֶם in Exod 32:24; Lev 20:24; Neh 2:20), but not וָאֹמַ֫ר לָהּ (Gen 20:13) and וָאֹ֫מַר לְךָ (Isa 41:9).
