Sorry I'm always last to respond, but I live on the other side of the world!

here about accents, only a card with their names.

Not true. In my copy of BHS, the word is clearly marked with a silluq under 
the letter resh, and hence is pausal, as other posters have noted. 

Having a copy of BHS is absolutely essential for OT Hebrew exegesis. It is 
readily available in paperback from large Christian retailers; here are the 
details from my copy (Which has a lovely green cover):

Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia, Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft, Stuttgart 
(Copyright 1967/77).

In this case the issue is a pausal form. However, Hebrew is not always 
entirely regular in its use of pronomial suffixes. For instance, "with you" 
masculine singular can be either `immeka (which is regular) or `immak, which 
you would think is feminine by its form, but is actually also masculine.

All the best,

Dr Albert Haig.
