<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Great question! I would think that
since under the compound-word entry (mehamat) it specifies that it
is a combination of min and hamat (dot under H) that it would be
divided as a little word. Also, just based on typography of the
base word (hamat, dot under H) entry, me-hamat is a common usage
of the word, but not the base word itself. <br>
<br>
(But is the parenthetical note following the base-word entry,
which indicates that the base word is only found with the prefix,
a strong enough argument for considering the compound-word to be a
base word?)<br>
<br>
I yield to Joan and the collective wisdom of the group.<br>
