Considering that dehi is class 222, that would happen regardless of what
class qamats qatan was assigned to, as long as it wasn't assigned to 222
(which I didn't mention as a possibility).

Yeah, whatever. Just make sure nobody is going to come along later and
say, "We've discovered we need to distinguish two orderings for qamats
qatan and athnah" (or tipha, tevir, munah, mahapakh, merkha, merkha
kefula, darga or yerah ben yomo).
(Of course, if they do, they can always insert CGJ.)
