3 Thy two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle. Sol 4:5 is repeated, but with the omission of the attribute, "feeding among lilies," since lilies have already been applied to another figure. Instead of תּאומי there, we have here מּאמי (taǒme), the former after the ground-form ti'âm, the latter after the ground-form to'm (cf. נּאלי, Neh 8:2, from גּאל = גּאל). Song of Solomon (Canticles) 7:4
