Yes, that's correct, Pere. The dagesh forte in those verbs, and the dagesh forte in the Niphal Yiqtol forms, indicates a missing nun.

There are too Hiph'il forms with prefix H- which take dagesh in the first root consonant, And so, Hi+aH, he turned (Ps 116:2) HiKaH, he smote (Ex 9:25) Have we thus to think that the dagesh is used to mark a desappeared nun, be it prefix (as in Niph'al) or root consonant (as in Hiph'il)?
