Lesson Seven



Consonants

The "Tav" is pronounced "t" as in tune. A dagesh may appear in the letter but will not change the sound of the letter.


The "dalet" is pronounced "d" as in dig.


Vowels

This vowel is pronounced "eh" as in elephant, but it is pronounced very softly.


This vowel is a dot which appears at the top and just to the left of the letter instead of beneath it and is pronounced "o" as in open.



Notes

  1. The Hebrew word for Moses appears to be missing a vowel after the "mem". Since Hebrew requires a vowel after each consonant, the vowel is an "o" above "Shin". The dot over the "Shin" and the "o" are in the same place.

  2. The "et" precedes a direct object of the verb and is never translated into English. For example, if I said "I drove to the store", the direct object is "store" becuase "the" comes before it and the "et" would precede it. If I said "I drove to a store", the "et" would not precede it since "store" in this sentence is not a direct object.
