Dear listers,

 

the word in Mic 1:8 we dealt with some days ago, has tsere under the aleph.

Now,  some words are found in the biblical text having the same pattern (binyan, person, number...)...  And so,

)$BYTH, ashbytah (Dt 32:26)

W)BDYLH, w'abdylah (Ezr 8:24)

W)BLYGH, w'ablygah (Job 9:27)

All of these have PATAH under the aleph.

My question is:

is there any good reason for the tsere  -and not a patah--    under Tthe form in Mic 1:8?

Obviously, BH is a language made up just to write down the scriptures.
