STRONGS H859: Abbreviations
אַתָּ֫ה, אָ֑תָּה (so regularly; but 26-7 times, with different disjunctive accents, אַ֑תָּה: see FrMM 228; Sta§ 178a (read 8 for 18) pronoun 2nd person singular masculine thou (for anta, see above; compare נָתַתָּ for נָתַנְתָּ) Genesis 3:11, 19+ often — Written אַתָּ 1 Samuel 24:19; Psalm 6:4; Job 1:10; Ecclesiastes 7:22; Nehemiah 9:6. Appended to a verb for emphasis, Exodus 18:19 (twice in verse); 1 Samuel 17:56 שְׁאַל אַתָּה inquire thou, 1 Samuel 20:8; 1 Samuel 22:18; Isaiah 43:26 סַמֵּר אַתָּה. Added for the purpose of strengthening a genitive or accusative suffix 1 Kings 21:19; Proverbs 22:19 (Ges§ 135.2).

אתי, i.e. אַתִּי, the older & more original form of אַתְּ thou (feminine), preserved, probably dialectically, + 7 times in Kt, Judges 17:2; 1 Kings 14:2; 2 Kings 4:16, 23; 2 Kings 8:1; Jeremiah 4:30; Ezekiel 36:13. (See above as in Syriac, the י may not have been fully sounded: the Masoretes direct אַתְּ to be everywhere read.)

אַתְּ, אָ֑תְּ pronoun 2nd person singular feminine thou (feminine) (shortened from אַתִּי (which see); in Syriac the two genders are written differently, bdb006117, bdb006118, but, the bdb006118anot being sounded, are pronounced alike: in Targum both are written אַתְּ or אַנְתְּ) Genesis 12:11, 13; Genesis 24:23 — Numbers 11:15; Deuteronomy 5:24; Ezekiel 28:14 used as a masculine (as in Aramaic of Targum); but probably אַתָּ (see below אַתָּה) should be here read.

אַתֶּם pronoun 2nd person masculine plural you (masculine) (for antem, see above) Genesis 9:7; Genesis 26:27; Genesis 29:4 —הֲ, הָאַתֶּם Judges 6:31; following the verb for emphasis Judges 15:12; Jeremiah 34:15; construed inaccurately with a feminine Ezekiel 13:20.

†אַתֵּן Ezekiel 34:31 (many editions אַתֶּן), אַתֵּ֫נָה Genesis 31:6; Ezekiel 13:11, 20 (editions אַתֵּ֫נָּה) Ezekiel 34:17 pronoun 2nd person feminine plural you (feminine).
