[Mesorah] three consecutive shvas

[galsaba at aol.com]

Can anyone explain to me what the problem is?
I looked at the Hebrew/English Arstcroll Chumash, the Hebrew Devarim only) Arstctoll Chumash, Tikun Kor'im Simanim, Taj (Yemenite) Chumash, and other Chumashim.In all of them the word "ularmela"  וּלְאַרְמְלָא verses 19, 20, 21 is spelled the same way.

Subject: [Mesorah] three consecutive shvas

The usual rule for two consecutive shvas is that the first is nach and the second is na. (Example: nifl'osecha in Modim)
What about when there are three? I don't know if it ever happens in Hebrew, but I just found an example in Aramaic: Onkelos' translation of v'laalmana in Devarim 24:19. Shvas are on the resh, mem, and lamed. My first guess was to read them nach na na: ul-ar-m-l-ta. But then I realized it could also be nach nach na: ul-arm-l-ta.
Just wondering if anyone more familiar with Aramaic wants to offer their ideas. (And by the way, no puns intended if anyone thinks there's any Breslover influence on how I phrased this. Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
