as copula Com^-OA^-OfA^-BA.

See also s.v. hnwn. The dialectal and semantic distribution of this form (along with fem. ˀnyn) varies greatly. In early and Palestinian contexts it appears to be colloquial, in later and Eastern contexts, purely literary. (Note especially that it is the only form found in JLA.) Only in Syriac is the distribution totally clear: this form is the enclitic, copulative, and object form, while heh-initial forms are the independent, subject forms.
