R' Akiva Miller:
<<I'm not going to ask why "teven" and "melech" are exceptions to the
rule.>>

Funny thing is, I'm not even sure they can be called that.  Rather, there
are two separate rules, for two separate classes of words.  Or at least so
it was explained to me: https://mi.yodeya.com/a/98964

Another interesting distinction among the kind of words is how they form
construct-state words.  Some take an _a_ (avdi, malki, shamni), others an
_i_ (bigdi, kirbi, tivni).  I haven't the foggiest notion whether that's
related to the other distinction: perhaps someone else on the list will.
