Realization of SHEVA before YOD in the Tiberian Schema

[johnlockejrr]

Before yod, it was realized as a short vowel with the quality of short ḥireq [i] (Khan, Vol. 1 p. 311)

Gen. 1:26 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֔ים נַֽעֲשֶׂ֥ה אָדָ֛ם בְּצַלְמֵ֖נוּ כִּדְמוּתֵ֑נוּ וְיִרְדּוּ֩ בִדְגַ֨ת הַיָּ֜ם
vaɟˈɟoːmɛʀ̟ ʔɛloːˈhiːim ˌnaˑʕaˈsɛː ʔɔːˈðɔːɔm bɑsˁɑlˈmeːnuː kʰiðmuːˈθeːnuː vajiʀ̟ˈduː viðˈʁaːaθ haɟˈɟɔːɔm

vajiʀ̟ˈduː should be vijiʀ̟ˈduː

Gen. 2:4 בְּיֹ֗ום עֲשֹׂ֛ות יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהִ֖ים
baˈjoːom ʕaˈsoːoθ ʔaðoːˈnɔːɔj ʔɛloːˈhiːim

baˈjoːom should be biˈjoːom

Gen. 9:2 בְּיֶדְכֶ֥ם נִתָּֽנוּ
bajɛðˈχɛːɛm nitˈtʰɔːnuː
bajɛðˈχɛːɛm should be bijɛðaˈχɛːɛm

Also, I don't want to open a new issue, even being a different problem:
In the Pentateuch הִוא is Qere Perpetuum and is read as it was written הִיא

Gen. 1:12 הָאָ֥רֶץ הַהִ֖וא hɔːˈʔɔːʀ̟ɛsˁ haːˈhiːv
should be hɔːˈʔɔːʀ̟ɛsˁ haːˈhiː
Though I'm not sure how Khan treats this case.

I opened this up in #140. I'm fine with different tickets if they're different problems

For the first comment, was it originally correct and is now wrong? Or has it possibly always been wrong?

I am not sure but I think was originally correct as far as I can recall. I can't presume we missed this considering we did a lot of work and had many headaches about SHEVA and the basic rules of Tiberian Pronunciation of it 1. a 2. if is imediatelly followed by a guttural/pharyngeal it takes the quality of the vowel under the guttural/pharyngeal 3. before YOD is pronounced as i etc.

EDIT: there are many places I found vocal SHEVA treated as silent SHEVA.

E.g. Gen. 10:11 אֶת־נִ֣ינְוֵ֔ה
ʔɛθ-ˈniːinˈveː
ˈniːinˈveː should be ˌniːnaˈveː

[johnlockejrr]

Also pʰ if doubled should be ppʰ and not pʰpʰ like in Gen. 1:12 ˌʕoːsɛː-pʰpʰaˈʀ̟iː that should be actually ˌʕoːsɛː-ppʰaˈʀ̟iː
Same with kʰkʰ -> kkʰ and tʰtʰ -> ttʰ
In the same context, when we have a q̟ with dagesh chazaq q̟q̟ and between them there is a primary stress, the COMBINING PLUS SIGN BELOW is moved under the primary stress as qˈ̟q̟. E.g. Gen. 2:8 מִקֶּ֑דֶם as miqˈ̟q̟ɛːðɛm
