[Mesorah] nasog achor

[Michael Poppers]

Two points:
-1- There are *many* exceptional examples to the "nasog achor" guidelines.  As RDLevy stated in the past (not sure if he did so on this forum), we can only explain why nasog achor occurs when it occurs, not why it doesn't occur when it doesn't occur. 
-2- As RZS noted on another forum, "haVU" is a different type of word from "HAvah" (e.g. "havah nischak'mah lo") -- _perhaps_, nasog achor didn't occur in "havu godel" to ensure no confusion with "HAvah."

Following an earlier discussion in which I stated that some words that 
should be mi-le-ra move back to being me-le-ayl because the *next* word 
is me-le-ayl and you can't have two consecutive stresses, I saw that in 
Parshas Ha-azinu, v.3, we have "ha-VU GO-del," which clearly opposes my 
suggestion.  The trop connects the two words so there is no "natural" 
division of the phrase. 

Any suggestions?
