Are you suggesting that the word final qamets under kaf and he (but not 
other letters, I think, and only found in certain personal suffixes) 
should be read before the final letter in the same way as furtive patah? 
An interesting idea, but surely in falls down in that the sheva in 
dvarkha/dvarakh would then be redundant.
