Why does the בּ in גִּבּוֺר contain a dagesh?
Can someone please help clarify for me why the בּ in גִּבּוֺר contains a dagesh? Isn't it that dagesh lene shouldn't occur after a vowel?

Again, useful for you: http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Gramma ... tters.html
It's a dagesh forte, not a dagesh lene according to the Masoretes
