For the Pe Nun - LQX - Qal Perfect 2MS they have:
LFQFX:TF


This is right in PAUSE.


but shouldn't it be:
LFQAX:TF


This is right in dynamic position (not pause)


Explain what you mean by pause.
_______________________

Every verse in the Hebrew Bible has two PAUSES:

--Towards the middle of the verse --- marked by an accent called "atnac"
--At the verse end.

Now, given a word spelled with a brief vowel ---let us say "$EME$", sun--
this brief vowel becomes LONG or changes to another vowel when the word is
found in PAUSE.

So, for instance, the name $EME$ becomes $FME$ in a pausal situation.

Compare: Jos 10:12 versus the last word in Jdg 20:43.
