["Paul W. Traub" <ptraub AT juno.com>]

I am having trouble identifying the particular pointing rule (cannot
double, prefer patach, comp shewa) present in the verb forms.  Don't have
trouble parsing them since they are still very distinctive, but I know
that there are times that it can make a difference.

I have been using Weingreen and Pratico/VanPelt, but I may be trying to be
too mechanical.

Any pointers???
