I assume you have access to the standard grammars. Gesenius,Kautzsch,Cowley
pp. 49-50. Jouon/Muraoka gives an historical description/explanation in great
detail, vol. 1, pp 40-46 (esp. p. 45). Perhaps the best summary is in van der
Merwe, Naude, Kroeze A Biblical Hebrew Reference Grammar pp 40-42.

That should get you started. After that, if things aren't clear to you, give
us some specific questions/examples and we'll try to help (we have some
expert phonologists on this list!).
