Dear Harold,



Thank you very much. I may use "strengthened" although it seems "pale"
relative to the Hebrew "LeTif'eret HaK'ri'ah".



Thanks a lot!



Rivka

HH: Thanks for answering my question. No, I don't

know of any other name. If it will do any good,

here is some data from an online Latin dictionary

about the Latin word. Perhaps you could use one of

the English verbs in an -ed form, like

"strengthened." "Strengthened" is the word that

GKC #20k uses to describe this dagesh's function.



iv SUFFIX



-ive, -ed; having the passive tendency; having

been ...-ed;
