<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">We are in a time when I rejoice if I hear someone who knows in reading the Torah where BGa'D K'PaT have a dagesh and when they are rafe. And you want to know rules pertaining to a dagesh hazaq vs. qal?!</p>

(my apologies to the Mishna in Hagiga)?</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">If you were not my friend, I would ignore this. As it is, I will delay a response for a while. For the matter is cloaked in mist, no matter how I tried to simplify it when discussing it in a class with Sholom. And
for people who want clear answers, 'twould be better to cease looking.<br>

<div class="x_PlainText">In the last pasuk of the 5th aliyah in Miketz, we read "mishneh-kesef".<br>
<br>
Why does the kaf in "kesef" have a dagesh?<br>
<br>
I'm guessing that the answer is simple and not noteworthy (because my <br>
tikkun, which has notes all over the place, makes no comment on this).<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
