Exegesis
The conjunctive adverb vegam {וְגַם | və-gam} links to lo savat {לֹא שָׂבָעַתְּ | lōʾ śā-ḇā-ʿat} to emphasize persistent insatiability. This structure underscores a cycle of betrayal and unmet desire.
Root and etymology
t-l-ʔtet–lamed–aleph

In context — Ezekiel 16:28
And you played the harlot with the sons of Assyria, because you were not satisfied ; you even engaged in further harlotries, yet you could not be satisfied.
