Psalm 45/Notes/Phrasal.vv. 4-5.220465

v. 5 – As discussed in the grammar notes, phrase-level waw typically exhibits "final coordination," that is, only between the final two constituents of a list (Scheumann 2020). Nevertheless, as in אֱ֭מֶת וְעַנְוָה־צֶ֑דֶק, coordinate waw in the antepenultimate position and lacking prior to the last entity of the list is not unheard of (GKC §154a; Fassberg 2019, §319), as also in v. 9's מֹר־וַאֲהָל֣וֹת קְ֭צִיעוֹת (such that וְעַנְוָה־צֶ֑דֶק is semantically equivalent to וַעֲנְוָה וָצֶדֶק; so Ḥakham 1979, 258).
