Your opinions please.
My grammars are divided into two schools of thought concerning the way
an inseparable preposition attaches itself to a word that begins with a

The first school of thought says that under these conditions, an
inseparable preposition creates a closed syllable at the beginning of a
word, usually invoking the "rule of shewa." However, this approach
ignores the absence of a dagesh lene in any following begadkephat letter.
