Footnotes
| Sng. 5:3 | There is a doubling of the the letter kaf כ (representing the palm) איככה ekakah. The normal way to write this is ekah איכה. This only occurs here and one other place— in Esther's words: כי איככה אוכל "For how-how am I eating?" (Esther 8:6 RBT) In both of these places it is a word spoken by a woman.
