Hey is there a rule that only gutterals can have composite shewa?

Click on [Unit Two: The Vowels]
Click on [A-Type Vowels]
It says:
ìThe Chateph Patach is sometimes called a ìhalf vowelî and is the
shortest of all vowels:
it can only appear under the guttural letters (and is usually part of
the following syllable). î

It says:
ìThe Chateph Segol is sometimes called a ìhalf vowelî and is the shortest
of all vowels:
it can only appear under the guttural letters.î
Then check the second occurrence of YHWH in Judges 16:28,
and you will find that there is a composite shewa [e.g. Hatef-Segol]
under the yod,
which is not a guttural letter.
Apparently rules were meant to be broken.
