["Isaac Fried" <if AT math.bu.edu>]

In Isa. 22:4 MINIY = MIN-ANIY (with the dagesh in the N as expected after a 
xirek.) In Job 31:7 MINIY = MIN-HI, with HI היא referring to the road.

I notice that in TUMATIY = TUMAH-ATIY the M is with a dagesh as expected 
after a qubuc, in TITEH the T (tet) is with a dagesh as expected after a 
xirik, in A$URIY = A$UR-ANIY the $ is with a dagesh as expected after a 
patax, in HADAREK the D is as expected with a dagesh after a patax, in 
LIBIY=LEB-ANIY the B is with a dagesh as expected after a xirik, and the P 
in UBKAPAY is with a dagesh as expected after a patax.
