Yes, there should be a tsere under the Yod (semikhut), but maybe Shelomo skipped school the day they taught it. ☺ Rachel

I have a grammar question. The text in Shir ha-shirim has "אַשְׁקְךָ֙ מִיַּ֣יִן הָרֶ֔קַח" My question is why is there a pataḥ under the first yud instead of a tsere. I have checked several different editions of the Tanakh as well as Briggs-Driver. According to Even-Shoshan and Luaḣ ha-Shemot יין in סמיכות would have a "tsere" under the 1st yud.
