CONFIRMED — Nöldeke's §63 'Subject-Forms' table gives Separate Forms alongside Enclitic Forms for the same set. 1sg (short form matching 'enā, with an even-shorter enclitic variant noted), 3ms hū and 3fs hī (both short, matching this record's forms exactly), and the 1pl entry showing TWO forms side by side — a short one and an alaph-prefixed longer one — directly matches this record's form_voc/form_voc_alt pair (ḥnan / 'enaḥnan) both in shape and in the fact that Nöldeke ALSO treats it as a dialectal-pair, not a single form.
