‎אֱהִי‎ Hos 13:10; Hos 13:14 (twice in verse) adverb where ? = ‎אֵי‎, ‎אַיֵּה‎. So ᵐ5 ᵑ6 ᵑ9 ᵑ7 AW in Hos 13:10, & ᵐ5 ᵑ6 (compare 1Cor 15:55) AW in Hos 13:14. Taken by many of the older interpreters, and even by Ges in Hos 13:14, as 1 singular imperfect with apocope of ‎היה‎ I would be: but this is less suited to the context, and the jussive form is an objection, being unusual with the 1 person
