Dear listers, I'm afraid I was misunderstood concerning my question on words with hireq in the first syllable and sere in the second.
I have done for years a deep study of the vowel (or pointing, if you prefer) patterns really existing in the Hebrew language for basic words consisting of three root letters. And I found these are 164 in number. I found 164 different vowel patterns for this word kind. Now, concerning those words, I found that a hireq in the first syllable and a sere in the second (and nothing else! nothing of dagesh!) is only used for those Pi'el basic forms that have a guttural for their second letter. Verb NI)"C, to spurn (2Sa 12:14 or Ps 10:3) would be a good example. My question is: does the Hebrew language use this vowel (or pointing, if you prefer) pattern for other purposes? Are there in Hebrew nouns, adjectives, adverbs... having ONLY a hireq in their first syllable and a sere in their second syllable (no dagesh, no shewa, no patah furtivum... at all!)?
