Dear all,

Does anybody know of decent theoretical study on shva merahephet, whether a 
book, Internet publication, or perhaps a synopsis?
I mean, lexicological explanation beyond the mere fact that the concept of 
shva merahephet explains known anomaly?

Perhaps you would also know when the use of dagesh in segollate (is this the 
correct word in English?) was first documented? That is, do we have 
extra-Masoretic spelling with dagesh in lamed?

By the way, speaking on the earliest documented usage, do you happen to know 
when suffix hem (haf-mem) first became stressed?


Sincerely,

Vadim Cherny
