From the Talmud and Hebraica 1602-1675 1979

(Shin followed by ger shayim Vav followed by gershayim Final_Mem)

Rashi Liber, Maurice 1906

(Ayin with qamats Zayin with dagesh and hiriq Yod) as uzi (Ayin with qubuts, Zayin with dagesh and hiriq Yod) and vezimrat (Vav Zayin Mem Resh Tav) as vezimrati

Rashi Liber, Maurice 1906

The following, recited on the Fast of Gedaliah (az terem nimteju (Alef Zayin, Mem Resh Final_Mem, Nun Mem Tav Het Vav)), may serve as an example.

Rashi Liber, Maurice 1906

(Vav Zayin Mem Resh Tav Yod) But I am astonished at the vowelling of the first word, which is unique in Scriptures, if an exception is made of the three passages in which the two words are joined.

Rashi Liber, Maurice 1906

On the contrary, the three other passages, namely, our passage, the one in Is. (xii. 2), and that in Psalms (cxviii. 14), have ozi (Ayin Zayin Yod) vowelled with a short "o"; moreover, these verses do not have vezimrati (Vav Zayin Mem Resh Tav Yod) but vezimrat

Rashi Liber, Maurice 1906

One must not be astonished that the text uses vayehi (Vav Yod He Yod) (imperfect changed to past) and not haiah (He Yod He) (perfect): for the same construction occurs in other verses; for example, I Kings vi.

Rashi Liber, Maurice 1906

As for the word vezimrat (Vav Zayin Mem Resh Tav) it has the meaning which the same root has in Lev.xxv. 4 ( "thou shalt not prune") and in Is.xxv. 5; that is to say, "to cut".
