Ibn Ezra on Deuteronomy 2:31/אבן עזרא על דברים ב׳:ל״א
אהחלתי. בפתחות ה״א הבנין בעבור אות הגרון וכן העירותיהו בצדק:
1I HAVE BEGUN. The heh of hachilloti (I have begun), which is the heh of the form,33 form. is vocalized with a pattach34. because of the guttural.35. Compare, ha’irotihu (roused him)36 rather than with a chataf pattach because of the guttural, the ayin. in I have roused him up in victory (Is. 45:13).
