<div> </div>
</div>
<div class="BodyFragment"><font size="2"><span style="font-size:11pt;">
<div class="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>
