Disemvowelled Man tries his hand at נִקּוּד (Part 2)

[lethargic_man]

Having learned some more rules since my last attempt, I decided to try again putting in the vowels; and the result?

Actually, I was somewhat disappointed there did not seem to be much less red ink than last time; however, once again a substantial part of it is hyphens, which I don't really care about, and words I was unfamiliar with. (Maybe I ought to use different ink for these...?) I also evidently didn't know that אאֹא appears to become אאָא־ when it takes a direct object suffix.

Questions this time:

• Why is there no דָגֵשׁ in the י of וַיְהִי or וַיְצַו?
• Why, when ח normally takes הֶ־ (as in רַבִי יְהוּדָה הֶחֲסִיד), is it here הַחֲסָדִים?
• (Plus of course my unanswered question from last time.)

Ah yes, drat and bother those unphonetic phoenicians!

As for modern Hebrew, I attribute that to sheer cussedness.
