Final-mem being used in the middle of a word

edit

The article reads:

The final form of Mem is used in the middle of a word only once in the Bible. In Isaiah 9:6, it says:
  • לםרבה (לְמַרְבֵּה) הַמִּשְׂרָה וּלְשָׁלוֹם אֵין-קֵץ.
  • That the rule may be increased, and of peace there be no end.

That's quite interesting, but why is it so used? Why didn't they use a non-final mem, to make למרבה? What difference does it signify? :o) — OwenBlacker (Talk) 17:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Mem with dagesh

edit

I see mem with dagesh on an Israeli map made in 1959. What does it mean? Perhaps this article should say. Zerotalk 03:18, 18 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
