[p] (d) Conversely all forms of imperfects consecutive, whose final syllable, when not in pause, loses the tone and is pronounced with a short vowel, take, when in pause, the tone on the ultima with a tone-long vowel, e.g. וַיָּ֫מָת and he died, in pause וַיָּמֹ֫ת.
[q] Of other effects of the pause we have still to mention, (1) the transition of an ē (lengthened from ĭ) to the more distinct ă (see above, l), e.g. הֵתַז for הֵתֵז Is 185 (cf. § 67 v; § 72 dd); קָמַל Is 339; אָצַל 1 Ch 838 (beside אָצֵל [, see v. 37. Cf. טָֽבְאַֽל׃ Is 76 (טָֽבְאֵל Ezr 47); שָׁשַֽׁר׃ Jer 2214; סְפָרַ֑ר Ob 20120; וַיִּנָּפַֽשׁ׃ Ex 3117; וַיֵּֽאָנַֽשׁ׃ 2 S 1215 (below, § 51 m)—S. R. D.]); הֵפַר Gn 1714; הַפְצַר 1 S 1523; תְּאַחַֽר ψ 4018; הַרְחַק Jb 1321, mostly before liquids or sibilants (but also הָשַֽׁב Is 4222, and without the pause תֵּרַד La 348). So also וַיֵּ֫לֶךְ (shortened from יֵ֫לֵךְ) becomes in pause וַיֵּלַ֫ךְ; cf. וַיּׄלַ֫ךְ La 32; תָּלַ֑ן for תָּ֑לֶן Ju 1920. On Seghôl in pause instead of Ṣere, el. § 52 n, 60 d, and especially § 75 n, on וֶהָֽיֶה Pr 44 and 72.
[r] (2) The transition from ă to è in the ultima; so always in the formula לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד (for עַד) for ever and ever.
[s] (3) The pausal Qameṣ (according to § 54 k, lengthened from original ă) in Hithpaʿēl (but not in Piʿĕl) for Ṣere, e.g. יִתְהַלָּךְ Jb 188 for יִתְּהַלֵּךְ. But pausal forms like סָ֫תֶר, שָׁ֫בֶט (in the absol. st. סֵ֫תֶר, שֵׁ֫בֶט) go back to a secondary form of the abs. st. סֵ֫תֶר, שֵׁ֫בֶט.
[t] (4) The restoration of a final Yodh which has been dropped from the stem, together with the preceding vowel, e.g. בְּעָ֫יוּ, אֵתָ֫יוּ Is 2112, for בְּעוּ, אֱתוּ, the latter also without the pause Is 569.12; cf. Jb 126, and the same occurrence even in the word before the pause Dt 3237, Is 2112.
[u] (5) The transition from ô or ō to ā in pause: as שְׁאָלָה Is 711, if it be a locative of שְׁאֹל, and not rather imperat. Qal of שָׁאַל; שָׁכָֽלְתִּי Gn 4314 for שָׁכֹֽלְתִּי; עָז Gn 493; יִטְרָף Gn 4927; perhaps also שִׁרְיָן 1 K 2234, Is 5917, and מִשְׁקָ֫לֶת Is 2817, cf. 2 K 2113. On the other hand the regular pausal form יֶחְפָּץ (ordinary imperfect יַחְפֹּץ) corresponds to a perfect חָפֵץ (see § 47 h).
[v] (6) When a Pathaḥ both precedes and follows a virtually strengthened guttural, the second becomes ā in pause, and the first Seghôl, according to § 22 c and § 27 q, e.g. אַחַי my brothers, in pause אֶחָ֑י. Similarly in cases where an original Pathaḥ after a guttural has been attenuated to i out of pause, and then lengthened to ē with the tone (cf. § 54 k), e.g. יִתְנַחֵם, but in pause יִתְנֶחָ֑ם Dt 3236; cf. Nu 87, 2319, Ez 513, ψ 13514.—On pausal Ṣere, for Seghôl, in infin., imperat., and imperf. of verbs ל״ה, see § 75 hh.
[w] [Other instances of the full vowel in lesser pause, where the voice would naturally rest on the word, are Gn 1514 יעבֹדו, Is 815, 4024, Ho 412, 87, Dn 915, and very often in such cases.]
