[Mesorah] mishneh-kesef

[Sholom Simon]

Hmm . . . I vaguely remember this.  It has 
something to do with a secondary stress making 
the syllable that follows it a closed syllable -- 
I think.  (I learned this from R Seth 6-1/2 years ago)

I see that the 'mem' in "umishna" has a ge'aya 
(nowadays called a maseg?).  So, perhaps that 
makes the following syllable closed, and 
therefore, a kaf, because it follows a closed syllable should have a dagesh?

(Any errors are, of course, mine!)

R Seth, am I close?
