[Heb-NACO] question regarding pronunciation of מגבוה

I beg to differ:
Three consonants can have a PataH genuvah that stands ordinary rules of reading Hebrew on their head:
PataH under final Het is pronounced before the Het, as in poteaH
PataH under final ayin is pronounced before the ayin, as in Yehoshua’
PataH under final mapik-hey is pronounced before the hey, as in Gavoah
No, the dot in this final hey is not a dagesh.

appears in Kohelet 12:5. The final "heh" has a dagesh in the source text. If one were chanting this would the "heh" be pronounced or not. I have heard it chanted both ways but I think that the correct way is to pronounce the "heh".



Thanks, Heidi
