A pronominal prefix, most likely the neuter/common plural pronoun “they”. It appears in the verb
yanâkhim “[they] are at hand” in the sentence
narîka ’nBâri ’nAdûn yanâkhim and in the verb
yakalubim “[they] lean over” in the sentence
urîd yakalubim (SD/251), both sentences having plural subjects. See the entry on
