	Segolate Information
		Segolates are words in the Hebrew language that end with the consonant-vowel structure CVCVC, where the penultimate vowel receives syllable stress.
		Such words are called "segolates" because the final unstressed vowel is typically (but not always) segol.
		These words evolved from older Canaanite and Semitic words that ended with two consonants; indeed, when a suffix (other than an absolute plural) is added to a segolate, the final vowel vanishes, and the penultimate vowel undergoes compensatory shortening.

		Concerning the segol: In Yiddish, "tsere" is "tseyre/tsayre--even tsayray", a diphthong in "all" Eastern Yiddish dialects.
		In "A yiddisher mey/aylekh", and similar words, the segol has merged with "tseyre/tsayre" and is thus a diphthong.
		If the NOW stressed vowels, which are in open syllable, had born the original stress, we would have expected either emes/eymes or eymes/aymes, etc. THE article on the subject was written by Dovid Katz "The Wavering Yiddish Segolate"* in the International Journal of the Sociology of Language 24: 5-27.

		Let’s take a quick look at segolates (yes, I usually spell it without the “h”) These nouns get their own, separate section in the grammar because they behave differently than other nouns in Hebrew.
		In other words, in the plural, segolate nouns will have a sheva under the first letter and a qamets under the second letter and the normal (gendered) suffix attached to the last letter.
		When you learn segolates, it is usually best to just learn them according to the three consonants that make them up and, again, not rely too heavily upon the segol pointing.

	Re: Natural language with the MOST irregular verbs?
		This segolate is then formed as follows: If the sg-m form ends with the third radical which is Alef or He as a mater lectionis, the second radical gets a Tsere and an Alef or Yod, resp., as mater lectionis, and the sg-f form ends with a Taw.
		Otherwise, the second radical gets a Segol or Patach, followed by the third radical with the same vowel, followed by a Taw.
		If the sg-f form is not determined by the preceding rule, it is formed by appending the suffix Qamats-He to the sg-m form after appending the same modifications that apply also to the plural forms.

		There is a significant number of Hebrew nouns which generally have a segol under the second syllable and have an accent on the first syllable.
		Such nouns are called segolate nouns and demand special attention since they are pointed uniquely.
		Thus, these words came to be called segolates because they have two segols.

	Morsels of Hebrew Grammar by Dr. Meshullam Klarberg - Parshas Vayikra
		The custom of the whole of Israel to read the Gimmel of hagefen with a Segol is most amazing as it is known to scholars of Hebrew Grammar that Segol changes to Kamatz at [the pausal tunes] Etnachta and Sof Pasuk as is explained in chapter one.
		However it may be countered that originally the custom was to read with a Segol it being perceived as Mishnaic Hebrew and the Yemenites adjusted it to Biblical Hebrew in the same manner as did R' Shabbetai Sofer.
		Among them is the group of nouns like seifer that have a Tzeirei in the first syllable and Segol in the second ('five points'); these have a Chirik in declension sifri etc. Then there are nouns like beged and shemen that have a Segol in both syllables ('six points').

		Neither is it changed to a qamatz in sefer or beged or most other words that have a chiriq in the suffixed forms (sifrei, bigdi, etc.).
		For the most part it's those segolate nouns that have a patach in those forms (tif'artekh, `avdi, darkei, etc.) which undergo the change to a qamatz at an etnachta or sof-pasuq.
		If I'm not mistaken, the segolates were originally monosyllabic, with only a single vowel between the first and second root letters; for the most part, only those with a historical "a" vowel (and an "a" vowel in their Arabic cognates) undergo the change in question.

	Pluralization Rules
		In the example above, when the word anan (cloud) has been pluralized, the fist syllable (Qamets) is reduced to Chateph Patach when the plural ending is added to the word (remember that a guttural letter cannot take a vocal sheva).
		For our purposes, Segolate nouns may be defined as two syllable nouns that are accented on the first syllable (often both syllables contain the Segol vowel, though not always).
		Basically, segolate nouns form their plural by undergoing “propretonic reduction” and lengthening the second syllable when the plural endings are added to the word.

	Hebrew grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many common two-syllable masculine nouns, called segolates because most (but not all) of them have the vowel segol (-e-) in both syllables, undergo more drastic characteristic vowel changes in the plural, e.g.:
		Feminine nouns ending in -a or -at generally drop this ending and add -ot.
		Note also that many adjectives, like segolate nouns, change their vowel structure in the feminine and plural.

		It's quite reasonable to suppose that segolate development was similar, namely CVCVC with initial stress -> C@CVC, with final stress.
		You also get the hard consonant in suffixed forms in both singular and most dual forms, so it looks as if malk- is really what we need our singular base to be.
		On the other hand the form of the internal plural that also occurs in Hebrew, as shown in the segolates, is considered to be Proto-Semitic and as far as I recal also Afro-Asiatic.

		And, it was just over 3,000 years ago that David himself was born in this same town of Bethlehem.
		The name Yerushalayim (Jerusalem transliterated) probably means people, house, or habitation of peace, with Yeru being a segolate noun meaning men or people and hence, house or habitation (Genesius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon to the Old Testament).
		At any rate, the central portion of the name is Salem which means peace.

	Morsels of Hebrew Grammar
		By quoting the word pachaz with the prefix Heh ('the definite article') Rashi indicates that it is not a verb.
		Nouns whose vowels are patach patach like pachaz, na'ar ('a youth'), sahar ('the moon'), nachal ('a river') belong to the conjugation (family) of nouns which have the stress on the second last syllable and are called Segolate nouns (like beged ('garment'), degel ('flag'), melech ('king').
		Therefore when the second or third letter of a root is Heh, Chet, or Ayin, Segolate nouns tend to replace the segol with a patach.

		From: Russell Hendel Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2000 23:34:38 -0400 (EDT) Subject: RE: Kamatz vs Segol in Geshem Several discussants (Mike Poppers, Mat Pearlman) in Volume 32 Number 63 point out that the KAMATZ form, GASHEM does occur in Tnach.
		But as I understand it (from previous issues in mj on this topic) the issue is NOT whether the form is legitimate but rather whether the SENTENCE ENDS at GASHEM.
		Hence even if the form is correct we would have a segolate form.

		There are also groups of words which have their stress on the penultimate syllable.
		These include some verbs, and those nouns known as 'segolate.' The second rule is that when one Sheva follows another in the middle of a word, the second - and only the second - is sounded (Sheva-Na).
		It has its stress on the ultimate syllable, but because the Ayin is a gutteral letter, there is a Hataf-Segol where there would otherwise be a Sheva (nishlam/ne'eram).

		Without going into the technicalities of this we see from these two laws that there is a concept of "investigation" of ones wifes appearance These Rambam laws occur at the end of Isuth..laws of Wives.
		3) The Segolate noun, BEDECK (occuring in Kings) means stress cracks in` building and is obviously related to the verb BDK to look over.
		It would seem from the Biblical example that BEDECK means looking over for minutae (such as blemishes).

		Seow gives all of the minutiae on a given concept before moving on.
		One example should suffice: verbs are not even addressed until chapter VIII, before which nouns in all their forms (geminate, segolate, mem-prefix nouns, tav-prefix nouns, etc.), adjective inflection and patterns (qatol, qatel, qatal, qall, etc.), and an intro to BDB and ''Reading Markers and Pausal Forms'' have all been addressed ad nauseum.
		By contrast, A First Hebrew Primer by Simon, Resnikoff, and Motzkin serves as a fantastic intro text.

	Michael Covington's Daily Notebook
		I owe this great insight to Joel Hoffman's new book about the history of Hebrew, which contains a lot of information, entertainingly and nontechnically presented (you don't have to know Hebrew, nor linguistics), but also puts forward some novel ideas.
		Hoffman argues that the Masoretes, who made the oldest surviving manuscript of the Bible that includes the full set of vowels, were rather out of touch with the actual pronunciation of Biblical Hebrew, and that some phenomena of Hebrew grammar (such as the segolate nouns, melekh/malkh-) were basically Masoretic inventions.
		He also contends that the Divine Name (YHWH) was never pronounced, and was simply a string of the "special" letters that the ancient Hebrews sometimes used to indicate vowel sounds.
