Yes, that's correct, Pere. The dagesh forte in those verbs, and the dagesh
forte in the Niphal Yiqtol forms, indicates a missing nun.

There are too Hiph'il forms with prefix H- which take dagesh in the first
root consonant,
And so,
Hi+aH, he turned (Ps 116:2)
HiKaH, he smote (Ex 9:25)

Have we thus to think that the dagesh is used to mark a desappeared nun, be
it prefix (as in Niph'al) or root consonant (as in Hiph'il)?
