The scope of this study is suffixes, due to the fact that final position bears grammatical information, while initial position bears lexical items. In order to analyze the gathered data, the theory of Phonology as Human Behavior will be employed. The theory classifies language as a system of signs which is used by human beings to communicate; it is based on the synergetic principle of maximum communication with minimal effort. This research shows that the similarity within Modern Hebrew inflectional and derivational suffix system is greater than the derivational Modern Hebrew – Biblical Hebrew system in terms of a specialized suffix system and that the phonological distribution of Hebrew suffixes is motivated by the principles of the theory.

All rights reserved. www.thekefar.com HEBREW PHONICS PUZZLES Educator’s Guide Thank you for using The Kefar’s Hebrew Phonics Puzzles! These are great tools for helping learners strengthen their Hebrew spelling skills and increase their vocabularies. This Educator’s Guide will explain how to read Hebrew, and how to use these phonics puzzles with your learners. Reading Hebrew Hebrew is a Semitic language with a writing system in which every symbol (letter) represents a consonant. Vowels in Hebrew are made up of dots and dashes that are added underneath, above, or to the left of Hebrew letters. These vowels, called niqqud, help Hebrew students learn how to pronounce words. As learners become more familiar with the language, and their vocabularies increase, they are able to read words without niqqud, supplying the correct vowel sounds based on their knowledge of Hebrew. There are three vowel sounds in this Hebrew Phonics Puzzles packet: ;These vowels [ ָ ַ ] make the “ah” sound, as in father This vowel [ ֶ ] makes the “eh” sound, as in bed; and .This vowel [ ֵ ] makes the “ei” sound, as in weigh To read, blend the sound of each Hebrew letter with the vowel sound (in that order). Note that Hebrew is read and written from right to left. is pronounced “seifel” - Samech + ei vowel ֵס ֶפל Example 1: The word (sei) / Fey + eh vowel (feh) / Lamed (l) is pronounced “aleh” - Ayin + ah vowel ָע ֶלה Example 2: The word (ah) / Lamed + eh vowel (leh) / Hey (h) Hebrew Phonics Puzzles ©2018 by The Kefar.

  • Issues in the Representation of Pointed Hebrew in Unicode Third Draft, Peter Kirk, August 2003
    Issues in the Representation of Pointed Hebrew in Unicode Third draft, Peter Kirk, August 2003 1. Introduction The Hebrew block of the Unicode Standard (http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0590.pdf) is intended to include all of the characters needed for proper representation of Hebrew texts from all periods of the Hebrew language, including fully pointed and cantillated ancient texts such as that of the Hebrew Bible. It is also intended to cover other languages written in Hebrew script, including Aramaic as used in biblical and other religious texts1 as well as Yiddish and a few other modern languages. In practice there are a number of issues and minor deficiencies in the Hebrew block as currently defined, in version 4.0 of the Unicode Standard (http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/), which affect its usefulness for representation of pointed Hebrew texts and of Hebrew script texts in some other languages. Some of these simply require clarification and agreed guidelines for implementers. Others require further discussion and decision, and possibly additions to the Unicode standard or other action by the Unicode Technical Committee. The conclusion reached in this paper is that two new Unicode characters should be proposed; other issues can be resolved by use of suitable sequences of existing characters, provided that such use is generally agreed by content providers and rendering systems. Several of these issues relate to different typographical conventions for publishing of Hebrew texts. It seems that a particular set of conventions is used for general publications in Hebrew, especially in Israel, but various other conventions, in which more fine distinctions are made, are used mainly for quality editions of biblical and other religious texts.

Special Vowels Patah Furtive Normally, a vowel sign appearing under a word is read after the consonant above it. This rule has an exception: if the final consonant of a word is a guttural and follows a full accented vowel, then a ' (patah) under that final consonant is furtive and is read first. The word j'Wr, for example, is pronounced roo/ach, not roo/cha. Qamatz Qatan (Qamets Hatuf) Written identically to the normal qamatz (qamatz rachabh), : , the qamatz qatan is a short vowel and is recognized by the fact that it appears in a closed, unaccented syllable. By contrast, the regular qamatz appears in an open syllable, or in a closed and accented syllable. Qamatz Qatan occurs in lK; (Gen 1.21), hm;k]j;, Úl]k;a} (Gen 2.17) and Úr“m;v]yI (Psa 121.7).

  • Recent Notes on Hebrew Pronunciation
    Recent Notes On Hebrew Pronunciation Recent Notes On Hebrew Pronunciation By Rabbi Avi Grossman Edited by Mr. Jonathan Grossman Many of the ideas discussed in this article were in my notebook for some time, and just as I was getting around to preparing them for publication, my prolific colleague Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein sent a copy of Professor Geoffrey Khan’s The Tiberian Pronunciation Tradition of Biblical Hebrew to me. After reading it and briefly corresponding with the author, I concluded that it was time to release this article. Professor Khan invites the yeshiva world to read his book, available for free at this link, and to check out hiswebsite . Full disclosure: although Prof. Khan’s research is enlightening, not only do I not agree with or endorse everything he claims, I do not believe that certain points are admissible as halachic sources in the Bet Midrash. With regards to the details of halachic pronunciation, I have already released my own book wherein I try to show how the rishonim would pronounce Tiberian Hebrew, and I direct readers to Rabbi Bar Hayim’s videos on the subject. Rabbi Bar Hayim follows the views of Rabbi Benzion Cohen. All of us are attempting to recreate something that we cannot really know, and for now, we still have to debate the fine details. I seriously doubt that the Masoretes spoke a ritual Hebrew that sounded exactly the way any of us describes it. Before getting into the nitty gritty of Prof. Khan’s arguments, I would like to introduce some basic ideas that can be gleaned from an elementary, comparative study of Arabic.

  • Is Modern Hebrew Standard Average European? the View from European *
    Is Modern Hebrew Standard Average European? The View from European * Amir Zeldes Abstract In contrast with previous work emphasizing European influences on Modern Hebrew as compared to the Biblical Hebrew model adopted by the Hebrew revival movement, this article sets out to examine relevant typological features of Modern Hebrew in its own right. Taking the typological literature on Standard Average European as a starting point, it is argued that Modern Hebrew is in fact quite far from the European type in the majority of pertinent features defined independently of the literature on Hebrew. Notwithstanding the many European influences present in Modern Hebrew, especially in phonology and semantics, and considerable differences compared to Biblical Hebrew, it will be shown that key structural similarities with European languages are remarkably few, and in most cases not due to the revival process at all. Keywords: SAE, Ivrit, Biblical Hebrew, language contact 1. Introduction The typological nature of Modern Hebrew has been the focus of much debate since its infancy. Already in the 1920s, when the first generation of native Modern Hebrew speakers was negotiating what would become the normalized grammar of the new language, 1 views from contemporary Semitists were expressed to the effect that the language spoken by Jewish settlers in British Palestine was in some way inauthentic, ‘un-Semitic’, and in particular European: The attempt to solve that task [=the modernization of Hebrew] without preparation had to lead to a feigned solution: to a Hebrew, that in reality was a European language in transparent Hebrew disguise , with outwardly general European traits and individual language peculiarities, but with only totally superficial Hebrew character.
