Usage notes

In roots ־י/ה the final yodh is almost always elided (as in the masculine singular participle of qal/pa'al verbs), and the remaining /a/ is - under the influence of the stress - lengthened and raised to /æː ~ ɛː/. Example: (שָׂדֶה (< *שָׂדָי from the root שׂ־ד־י/ה. In feminine nouns, on the other hand, the /a/ remains and is regularly lenghtened, cf. שָׁנָה‎‎‎‎‎‎. A counterexample where the final yodh is kept in this paradigm is בְּעָיָה.
