The Rule of Shewa
What happens when two shewas are at the beginning of a word?
Rule 1: The first shewa becomes a hireq.
(this usually happens when we add a preposition to a word)
-א+ל ש()מו-א+ל ל) + ש()מו
-א+ל - א+ל ל)ש()מו ל) ש() מו-א+ל - א+ל ל9ש()מו ל9ש() מו

The Rule of Shewa
Rule 2: If the second shewa is a composite shewa (beneath a guttural), the first shewa will morph and match the vowel of the composite shewa.
(composite shewa = partial shewa = khatef qamets/khatef patakh/khatef segol)
