The paradigmatic pual form is TUM)AH ( טֻמְּאָה ) with a dagesh. This exact form is apparently not in the bible, where the nipal form NITMTAH, to indicate self fault, is used instead. But $HULXAH, ( שֻלְּחָה ), 'she was sent away', with a dagesh in the L, appears in Is 50:1.

Yes, but XUP$AH, ( חֻפְשָה ), 'freedom', appears as such in Lev 19:20, and also TUM)AH, ( טֻמְאָה ), 'impurity', in Nu 5:19; and they are both without a dagesh.
And where do they appear like that with a dagesh(es)?
