Dual, with suff., bucket (from , for ), more correctly, with the Masora,  with Munaḥ for Metheg. This unusual Metheg is to be treated as following the analogy of the cases mentioned in.

7. On Paradigms l–n: segholate forms from stems (see, β).

(a) In the qaṭl-form the ă of the contracted formation is sometimes lengthened in the ''absol. st.'', sing. as in (so also in the constr. st., except in the combination ; and even before, ), sometimes it remains short, e.g. , , but even these formations generally have  in pause, as well as after the article (e.g. ). Adjectives under the influence of a guttural either have forms like , , or, with compensatory lengthening, ,. In the ''constr. st.
