1. You should explain to us, and possibly also to yourself, what you mean by "yod drops".

2. You should explain to us, and possibly also to yourself, what you mean by the symbol --> in the relationship HMYT-TEM --> HMTEM.

Nu 17:6:

MWT (hifil, past) + suffix -TEM --> HMYT-TEM --> HMTEM
with dagesh.

i see this as completely regular for this case. T is doubled, so the dagesh is
forced, hence yod drops.

modern hebrew would have HEMAT(E)TEM (as alternative to HARAGTEM), but HAMITEM
is completely within BH grammar.

1 sam 2:25:

MWT (hifil, infinitive) + suffix -AM --> L-HMYT-AM
(no dagesh).

this too is completely regular for this case! T is not doubled, so no
dagesh is necessary, so yod does not drop.
