Although, at times, I disagree with tikkun Simanim, this is 
not one of them.
The yud is a weak letter that often loses its dagesh after 
hei hai'di'a despite the Moshe mapik rule. See, for example, 
hai'ladim in breishit 33:1 & 5 or, better yet, vai'daber 
some 200 times (and never with a dagesh).
