Ibn Ezra on Genesis 27:46/אבן עזרא על בראשית כ״ז:מ״ו
אקצתי בחיי. כמו הפוך וכן "נעלה ביהודה ונקיצנה" (ישעי' ז ו) וכן אמר הכתוב "אשר אתה קץ" (שם שם טז)
1I AM WEARY OF MY LIFE. Katzti (I am weary) has the same meaning as tzakti (I am distressed).97; that is, katzti is similar to tzakti, the kof and tzadi changing places. Thus the root kof, vav, tzadi has the same meaning as the root tzadi, vav, kof. Compare U-nekitzennah (and vex it) in Let us go up against Judah and vex it (u-nekitzennah) (Is. 7:6). Scripture similarly says, the land whose two kings thou hast cast a horror of (katz)98 shall be foresaken (Is. 7:16).
