From Howard Marshall's NIGTC:
"The first picture is of two people on the same bed. Zmijewski's claim . . .
that KLINH means a couch on whcih people lie to eat a meal is improbable,
expecially after the mention of night-time. . . . Both pronouns are
masculine, since either the man or his wife may be taken/left."
