Towards Better Davening and Torah Reading

SHEISH SHANIM TIZRA SADECHA V’SHEISH SHANIM TIZMOR KARMECHA V’ASAFTA ET T’VU’ATA:

SHEISH SHANIM TIZRA SADECHA V’SHEISH SHANIM TIZMOR KARMECHA V’ASAFTA ET T’VU’ATA:

So reads Vayikra 25:3 at the beginning of Parshat B’har. We find in this pasuk, a two word phrase - twice - the first word of which ends with the same letter as the second word begins. SHEISH SHANIM, 6 years. This situation is called D’VEIKIM - two words that tend to stick together with one of the two same letters getting swallowed in the fusing of the two words. SHEISHANIM. When reading the Torah (or davening) one should be careful to separate the D’VEIKIM.
Here are some examples of D’VEIKIM, with different letters.
MASIG G’VUL
B’NOT TZ’LOFCHAD DOV’ROT (this is not a real example, since the DALET at the end of Tz’lofchad is really supposed to be pronounced like the TH in these and those)
RU’ACH CHAYIM
B’NEI YISRAEL L’MAS-EIHEM
OTAM MOSHE
YEHOSHUA BIN-NUN
VAYATZEITZ TZITZ (a mouthful)
RAK KODOSHECHA
(no TET-TET found in Tanach)
