A hirek is followed by a dagesh. The dagesh ("forte") is, in my opinion, no more than an ancient cue for the hireq, as in IWER, 'blind'. In other words, the dagesh is not a part of the NIQUD.

Are there in Hebrew nouns, adjectives,
adverbs... having ONLY a hireq in their first syllable and a sere in their
second syllable (no dagesh, no shewa, no patah furtivum... at all!)?
