Yitzhak,

And here is the thing, all the examples you have now accepted
have two differences in pronunciation! For example, in the case
of qinnim/qinim, the words are:
[qin-'nim] compartments
[qi:-'nim] lamentations
In one the i is short and in the other long! In one the n is doubled
and in the other it is not!
