• Like other words that start with ⁧ב⁩,‎ ⁧ג⁩,‎ ⁧ד⁩,‎ ⁧כ⁩,‎ ⁧פ⁩,‎ or ⁧ת⁩, this term's initial letter takes a dagesh lene. In older texts, that dagesh is usually dropped when the word is preceded, in the same phrase, by a word ending in a mater lectionis; in modern texts, the dagesh is usually preserved even in such a case. Likewise, in older texts, the dagesh is always dropped when the word is prefixed by an indefinite ⁧ב־⁩‏,‎ ⁧כ־⁩‏,‎ or ⁧ל־⁩‏, or by ⁧ו־⁩‏; in modern speech, the dagesh is often preserved in such a case. (After the definite ⁧ב־⁩‏,‎ ⁧כ־⁩‏,‎ and ⁧ל־⁩‏, and after the prefixes ⁧ה־⁩‏,‎ ⁧מ־⁩‏,‎ and ⁧ש־⁩‏, there is a dagesh forte, as described in the usage notes for those prefixes.)
