זקת היבום
Properly it is זקת היבום Zayin(Hireq)-Qof Degushah(Qames)-Taw. Many people erroneously write it with a Yod after the Zayin, but that is grammatically incorrect. The word Ziqqat, the construct form of Ziqqah, takes a Hireq under the first radical and a Dagesh and Qames under the second.

: In Rabbinical writing grammar is often ignored and superfluos letters added (not to mention that geneder is often incorrect as well).
