The shin. like I wrote, "a bar *over* the vowel before the letter to
be doubled." Which is why I gave the example as clarification.

Think of it in syllables. The shin owns the syllable, so we pile the
syllable's vowel and anything about how the syllable is closed on top
of that letter.

Which is why a sheva nach has no symbol in their system. It always
closes a syllable, not opens one, so its letter would get no syllable
info. Instead, the previous letter says "hi, i open a syllable that
ends with the entire next letter" -- a line below the vowel, above
the letter.

Tir'u baTov!
