    The supplied morphology identifies each form as an interrogative particle. In Hosea 13:10 the APB renders a question about the king who might save in the cities; in Hosea 13:14 it renders repeated questions addressed to death and Sheol concerning plagues and a sting.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the particle through questions beginning “Where then is” in Hosea 13:10 and “where are” and “Where is” in Hosea 13:14. These English phrases reflect the clauses rather than a fixed one-to-one rendering.
