[Mandel, Seth via Mesorah]

We will discuss this, b’n.  It is not exactly as you state, at least according to the evidence of the Aleppo Codex.

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.

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.
