[Mesorah] vayichadd

[Mandel, Seth via Mesorah]

As an early rishon (IIRC, R Yonah ibn Jannah) said, this is basically the same form as ???????????

However, the sh'wa under the shin becomes a pasach under the influence of the chet.

Shemos 18:9 starts off with the word "vayichadd" -- the final dalet having a dagesh and a shva.

Apologies if this is a simple question: what is that?  Why does the word need that as an ending?

Shavua tov!
