Dear Listmembers,

Did any of you ever study the device of shva merahephet, the differenc between calBi (my dog), and calVei(dogs)? Any information on this?


Sincerely,

Vadim Cherny

I think this is the second time you asked this question since you
received no reply previously.
You use a term for the sewa which I may perhaps have heard but cannot
recall. Then there is the matter of your example. I find no case of KLB
used in the Tanak with a pronominal suffix. Are you referring to whether
or not a dagesh appears in the following consonant? Your transliteration
is somewhat idiosycratic. I would suggest that you take the time to
review the convention used on the list out of courtesy to the other
members who must attempt to discipher your meaning.

No such distinction with KELEB, but there is with MELEK, which has:

1st person suffix form MAL:K.IY with dagesh
Construct plural form MAK:K"Y with no dagesh (contraction from absolute plural M:LFKIYM )

I guess this is the distinction Vadim is asking about. But I haven't studied the distinction.
