**The whole BDB entry:** pron. 2 s. f. thou (fem.) (shortened from אַתִּי (q.v.); in Syriac the two genders are written differently, ܐܰܢ̱ܬ݀, ܐܰܢ̱ܬ݀ܝ, but, the ܝ not being sounded, are pronounced alike: in 𝔗 both are written אַתְּ or אַנְתְּ) Gn 12:11, 13; 24:23 + often. Thrice Nu 11:15; Dt 5:24; Ez 28:14 used as a masc. (as in Aramaic of 𝔗); but prob. אַתָּ (v. sub אַתָּה) should be here read.
