What do Jewish grammarians do with a root like _yc(_ [yod-tsadeh-ayin]
meaning in the Hiphil to make a bed? With this root, the yod assimilates.
It is therefore a third alternative to yod-visible and yod-quiescent,
right? The root you asked about _ycq_ seems to fall between the cracks.

Shalom,
Bryan
