1 94 Week Twelve Mark Francois Hebrew Grammar Week 12 - Review 12. Dagesh Forte vs. Dagesh Lene Dagesh Lene is not written when, כ, ד, ג, ב, פ and ת are preceded by a vowel sound, even if the vowel sound is found in the previous word. Dagesh forte may be written in any letter except for the gutturals,ח,ה,א) (ע and resh,(ר) which cannot be doubled., כ, ד, ג, ב, פ and ת are pronounced the same whether the dot in the middle is dagesh lene or dagesh forte. Dagesh forte can be distinguished from dagesh lene in these letters because dagesh lene never occurs after a vowel sound Vocal Shewa 1) A shewa is vocal when it comes under the first letter of a word. E.g. ש מ ע (š e maʿ). 2) A shewa is vocal when the previous vowel is a long vowel. E.g. ק ט ל ה (qōṭ e lâ). 3) A shewa is vocal when it comes under a letter with a dagesh. E.g. ד ב ר ו (dibb e rû). 4) When two shewas occur side-by-side in the middle of a word, the first one is silent and the second one is vocal. E.g. ת ק ט ל ו (tiqṭ e lû) Silent Shewa 1) A shewa is silent when the previous vowel is a short vowel. E.g. ח ר ב ו (ḥarbô). ק ט ל ת E.g. 2) When two shewas occur side-by-side at the end of a word, both shewas are silent. (qāṭalt). 3) When two shewas occur side-by-side in the middle of a word, the first one is silent and the second one is vocal. E.g. ת ק ט ל ו (tiqṭ e lû) Qamets vs. Qamets-Khatuf As you may have noticed, the sign for qamets ( ) is exactly the same as the sign for qametskhatuf ( ). The qamets occurs, by far, more frequently than the qamets khatuf so it is only necessary to learn the rules for recognizing a qamets-khatuf: 1. A qamets-khatuf occurs in a closed, unaccented syllable.

2 Review Mark Francois If the next vowel sign after is a shewa, is a qamets if is written with a meteg and it is a qamets-khatuf when it is not written with a meteg Inseparable Prepositions with the Definite Article When an inseparable preposition is added to a word with a definite article, the preposition simply takes the place of the definite article. The vowel under the preposition remains the same as the vowel that was under the definite article and the first letter of the word to which it is attached is ל ב ן ( the son ), it becomes ה ב ן is added to the word ל stilled doubled. E.g. when the preposition ( to the son ) Parsing Nouns Hebrew nouns are marked for gender (masculine, feminine), number (singular, dual, plural), and state (absolute, determined, construct, pronominal) Basic Pattern of Hebrew Nouns Masculine horse Feminine law, instruction ת ור ה ס וס Singular ת ור ת י ם ס וס י ם Dual ת ור ות ס וס ים Plural Segholate Noun Patterns Singular Plural Masculine king Feminine earth מ ל ך א ר ץ מ ל כ ים א ר צ ות Recognizing Nouns in the Construct State Nouns in the construct state may be recognized by vowel reduction ב ר ד ב ר),( ד the presence of a maqqef ל י ש ר א ל),( כ changes to noun-endings ל כ י מ ל כ ים,מ ח נ ה מ ח נ ה, ת ור ת ת ור ה),(מ and context. 1 This rule works most of the time. However, the meteg is often omitted in the Hebrew Bible in words that are easily recognizable.

Functions of the Adjective Attributive adjectives must agree in gender, number, and definiteness with the noun they are modifying. Predicate adjectives never take the definite article and must agree with the noun they are asserting something about in gender and number. Substantival adjectives are adjectives that have been made into nouns. 2 מ ן 122.
