Some nouns having a שׁ as their second consonant are written following this pattern: the shin dot plays the part of the holam; or, in other words, the two dots merge into one.

This is a pattern tightly related to the pattern N-t128.

בשֶׁת | בושת ----- shame (Job 8:22

חשֶׁן | חושן ----- breast-piece (Exo 28:4

גּשֶׁן | גושן ----- Goshen (Gen 47:4u
