I was looking at the word asani as in shelo asani goi, eved etc. If the sin had a kamatz, I have no problem. The syllables are a-sa-ni with no dagesh in the nun. But the sin has a patach and to me it seems that the num should have a dagesh so the breakdown
is a-san-ni. but the nun has no dagesh in any siddur that I have seen.<br class="null">
<br class="null">
As a mesoretic I checked the Bar-Ilan Keter and found 2 appearances of natani (nun w/ kamatz, tav with patach, nun without dagesh and with chirik). With a dagesh, I then found 4 maginni, and 3 maginnei, and one dananni. I didn't look for words with a third
letter not a nun.<br class="null">
<br class="null">
So, why is there no dagesh in asani. Or, perhaps, I should ask what is wrong with my idea of syllablation of words.<br class="null">
