[Mesorah] Fwd: fourth section of details of the Masorah

​
One of the most stable and characteristic uses of the ge‘aya is what YHB’Y
called הכבדה  הגעיה.  This appears next to the vowel in a closed syllable,
if that syllable is followed by another syllable, then a sh’wa na‘, then
the stressed syllable.  For example, וְהִֽתְפַּלְל֞וּ in 1 Kings 8:35.  The
ge‘aya is next to the hiriq; the syllable is closed, as shown by the peh
with a dagesh qal beginning the next syllable, which is followed by a sh’wa
na‘, which is followed by the stressed syllable.

What is very interesting is what qualifies as a sh’wa na‘ here.  A sh’wa at
the beginning of the word, of course, as in תִֽמְנֶֽה־לְךָ֣ ׀ חַ֡יִל in 1
Kings 20:25.  The second of two sh’was, as in וַֽיִּלְכְּדֻ֑הָ, Numbers
32:39.  The sh’wa under a letter with a dagesh hazaq, as in
וַֽיְשַׁלְּחֵ֛הוּ, Genesis 3:23.  A hataf vowel under a guttural, as in in
the example from Deuteronomy 29:17 above.  The first of two identical
letters, as in the example from 2 Kings above.

Bahur’s rules.  In the next section, we will find more. <
IIUC re the I Kings 8 <http://www.mechon-mamre.org/c/ct/c09a08.htm>:35
example, the *shva* under the *lamed* is *na'* according to ben Asher
because he graced the *chiriq* with a *ga'ya*, not because that *shva* is
under the first of two identical consonants, and a *shva* is never *na'*
just because it's under the first of two identical consonants -- is that
correct?  Thanks.
