[Mesorah] aleph with a dagesh

As there is a semi-ancient tradition that I add a two-cent comment to 
various posts, I'll do it again.

It has been mentioned in numerous posts that there are four words in the 
Tana"kh with an  aleph degusha.

That is slightly incorrect because there are five, not four. The fifth 
is in Daniel 5:8. The word is l'fishrei with a dagesh in the final 
aleph.  True, this word is in Aramaic rather than Hebrew but it is 
certainly in the Tana"kh.
