This is the dagesh in words like eille (these), henna (hereto), lamma (why,
what for). The term used in Gesenius (#20k) is dagesh forte FIRMATIVUM. I
was hoping that there is a more "popular" term that can be
readable/pronounceable by lay people. Do you (or someone else) know of such
term?



Thanks and best.

Dear Rivka,



> Does anyone on this list know the English name/term for Dagesh LeTif'eret

> HaKri'ah? (literally, dagesh for the glory of the reading).



HH: If you could explain what it does, it would be

easier to identify it with some other name.



Yours,

Harold Holmyard
