Ibn Ezra on Isaiah

קצה End. ה is paragogic, like ה in לילה night; the accent is therefore on the penultima.13Nouns ending in –ָה or –ֶה have generally the accent on the last syllable; but there are exceptions to this rule, and one of them is, that if these terminations are paragogic, the last but one has the accent.
