asked 08/12/21a question regarding Hebrew suffix's
can this Hebrew suffix:
ָ יו (Kamatz,Yud and Vav)
Third person, singular, masculine possessive. His
סוּסָיו susav (his horses)
תּוֹרוֹתָיו torotav (his laws)
be interpreted with this suffix:
וּ (Shuruk)
Third and Second person, masculine plural. They will do, You will do
יִשְׁמְרוּ yishm'ru (they will keep)
תִּשְׁמְרוּ tishm'ru (you will keep)
instead of this suffix:
וֹ ( Cholam male)
Third person, singular, masculine possessive. His
סוּסוֹ suso (his horse)
תּוֹרָתוֹ torato (his law)

No, they are not interchangeable. One is a verb ending, the other a possessive pronoun ending. Shuruk and Cholem are both derived from vav, but have different pronunciations and functions.
