Isaac,
one must carefully distinguish between the niqud and the unniqud.
Noun אִמָּא, mum, is spelled )YMA) in the unniqud because nouns non strictly Hebrew and all the borrowings from foreing languages...... follow the rule of including a yod for the hireq.
And so,
אינטרנט, internet
The "strict" Hebrew nouns having vowel hireq (sound "i") take no yod whenever the basic noun hasn't.
Thus, QIN.FH, her nest (Pr 27:8) takes no yod because Q"N (Is 16:2) lacks it.
