The employment of unusual forms of language cannot be considered as a sign of ancient Hebrew poetry. In Genesis 9:25–27 and elsewhere the form lamo occurs. But this form, which represents partly lahem and partly lo, has many counterparts in Hebrew grammar, as, for example, kemo instead of ke-; [2] or -emo = "them"; [3] or -emo = "their"; [4] or elemo = "to them" [5] —forms found in ...
