[Heb-NACO] question regarding pronunciation of מגבוה

[Heidi G Lerner]

Thanks so much!!! I am chanting Kohelet during Sukot and the question came up while I was practicing with someone. 
Interestingly enough, the reader at Mekhon Mamre also pronounces it "gavohah".

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
