Ibn Ezra on Genesis 38:25/אבן עזרא על בראשית ל״ח:כ״ה
אהיא מוצאת. היה ראוי להיות כמו "מודעת זאת" (ישעי, יב ה) לולי העלם האל"ף כמשפטה:
1WHEN SHE WAS BROUGHT FORTH. If the alef of mutzet was not quiescent as is the grammatical rule, the word would have followed the paradigm of muda’at (made known) in This is made known (muda’at) (Is. 12:5).37 or ayin would have been used then our word would be so vocalized since it is a hofal participle. The alef is vocalized with a tzere because it is a quiescent letter (Cherez).
