- Corbett (2010: 359) commented: "This is a unique emotive text. The function of the lam that follows the initial waw is uncertain. It does not have a clear syntactic function and it does not function here as the lam auctoris. It may be some type of vocative or even poetic particle or referent. Second, the substantive ʾs²yʿ (“companions”) takes the 3ms possessive suffix h (“his”) rather than the more common suffix n (“our”)".
