27

28
Why do some nouns experience pointing changes in the construct state?
Because nouns lose their stress when they are put into the construct state
29
Which types of nouns do not undergo vowel changes in the construct state?
- Monosyllabic singular nouns with a historically long vowel
- Monosyllabic singular nouns with a short vowel
- Disyllabic singular segolates not ending in qamatz + hey
- Singular active participles
- Geminates
30
How does the construct state affect long vowels in closed syllables?
The vowel reduces to its nearest short equivalent
31
How does the construct state affect long vowels in open non-final syllables?
The vowel reduces to shewa or hatef patah, if its pointing a guttural
32
What happens when a plural noun with a vocal shewa in the first syllable has the second vowel reduced to another shewa?
The rule of shewa dictates that the first vocal shewa must be replaced by a hireq; if the noun's first consonant is a guttural pointed with hatef patah, it's replaced by a patah
33
How does the construct state affect vowels that begin with patah + yod + hireq AND qamatz + waw
They reduce to a historically long vowel
34
How does the construct state affect the pointing of nouns that end with segol + hey?
The vowel lengthens to sere + hey
35
How does the construct state affect the pointing of geminate nouns whose final consonant is a gutteral?
It doesn't
