I'm seeking the reason for the different vowel in two words that are 
structurally equal.

I'm telling on the cluster consisting of Qal Participle singular of verbs 
lamed"heh + suffix of first person singular, -ny

Look at www.oham.net/out/S-d/S-d1496.html and then at 
www.oham.net/out/S-d/S-d1497.html
In the first, the second root consonant takes tsere. While in the latter the 
second root consonant takes qamats.
Does anyone of you which is the reason for this?

Maybe the reason is that the first case is in pause while the second is not? 
Or maybe the reason is that aleph does not take tsere but qamats 
(disregarding of pause or non-pause position of the word)? Is there another 
reason for these different vowels?
