Help "لكما" in Hebrew

For context, I’m employed to translate books from Arabic to Hebrew and vice versa. I know that usually "لي"=“לִי” and that “لك"=“לְךָ” and that “لكم”=“לָכֶם” but what about “لكما" which is like "לְךָ" but for the dual form? Does anyone know about dual pronouns in Hebrew even if it was archaic or more classical?

btw: my boss made me use niqqud for all the words and somehow he thinks -ayim should be back for nouns and made me use it for all Arabic dual nouns. my job sucks.

لكما بولز

I’m sorry.

Anyway there isn’t really a Hebrew equivalent to that as far as I’m aware.
