Commentary for Judges 19:13
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר לְנַעֲר֔וֹ לְךָ֥ וְנִקְרְבָ֖ה בְּאַחַ֣ד הַמְּקֹמ֑וֹת וְלַ֥נּוּ בַגִּבְעָ֖ה א֥וֹ בָרָמָֽה׃
And he said unto his servant: ‘Come and let us draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.’
Rashi on Judges
We will spend the night. As in וְלַנְנוּ. The period punctuating the נ serves as a replacement for a second נ.2The suffix נו denotes the plural usage. When the letter נ appears in the root, as in לין, the additional נ is dropped, and is replaced by a period in the original נ.
