There are some cases, Isaac, where a begadkefat lacks dagesh lene. This only means, methinks, that the consonant must be said/read soft:
-Kalvan, dog rearer (... not kalBan)
-Katvan, clerk (not KatBan)
These are mainly (or only?) job doers.

If you mean MA-XMAD-IY, then the dagesh in the D is after a patax as expected. In the word MA-RBAD-IYM ( in my opinion a variant of MA-RBAC-IYM) the D is with a dagesh after a patax, as expected, but the lack of a dagesh "lene" in the B is puzzling. I think that the lack of a dagesh implies that the NAKDANIYM deviated here from the reading of the earlier DAG$ANIYM.

There are nine MA- nouns which in their declension take a dagesh forte in
the last consonant of the stem.
They are:
MXMD, desire
MXMC, xxx
MXCB, hewing
MX$K, dark place -- Is 42:16
M+(M, savoury food
MMTQ, a sweet thing
MN(M, delicacy
MRBD, coverlet
M$)B, a drawing place of water
Which is the reason for this dagesh?
