ShevaReview : ShevaReview Review of Sh’va.
Remember the two sounds of a Sh’va?
It makes a little sound if it is under the FIRST letter of any syllable.
It makes no sound if it is under the LAST letter of a syllable.
If the letter that a Sh’va is under is not the first letter of the syllable, then the sh’va forces it to be the last letter of the syllable. (The terminator!) In fact, the syllable ends exactly as if there had been NO vowel under the letter, and since the Sh’va makes no sound, it sounds like there is no vowel.
RuleThree : RuleThree Sh’va Rule One If the Sh’va is under the FIRST letter of a syllable it makes a sound Sh’va Rule Two If the Sh’va is under the LAST letter of a syllable it is silent. Sh’va Rule Three If the Sh’va is under a letter that is not the first letter in the syllable, then it MUST BE the last letter of the syllable. The Sh’va TERMINATES the syllable. So, I call it the TERMINATOR!

Sh’va)
ShevaGraphicRules : ShevaGraphicRules
Terminator : Terminator Notice that in both cases, whether the Sh’va is silent or makes a sound, it terminates the syllable. Any time there is a Sh’va, it ends (terminates) the syllable! Later, we will find some exceptions to this concept. But it usually works.

Nikt’voo : Nikt’voo Our next problem will be dividing into syllables words with a Sh’va in the word.
Here is a word that could be difficult to divide into syllables because of two Sh’vas. The Sh’va is a problem because it could be under the first letter of a syllable in which case it makes a sound or it could be under the last letter of a syllable in which case it is silent. But here we have a word which has two Sh’va’s inside the word. Lets figure it out.
RuleThree : RuleThree Has it occurred to anyone that whenever we divided words into syllables, that open syllables would be found at the beginning, middle or end of a word, but in all of the words that we have seen so far, closed syllables only showed up at the end of a word?
What would a closed syllable need to be able to be anyplace except at the end of a syllable? Remember that every letter must have a vowel unless it is the last letter in a word.
What would it take to terminate a closed syllable if the syllable were not the last syllable in a word?
Nikt’voo : Nikt’voo When a Sh’va is silent, it has the same effect on syllabification as if there were no vowel.
Remember when a syllable is at the end of a word and the last letter does not have a vowel, that letter is the closing letter of the syllable producing a closed syllable.
But when we come to a letter which would be the closing letter of a closed syllable IF there were no vowel under it and we find a Sh’va under it, then the Sh’va is silent and the letter is included as the closing letter in the previous syllable.
So, with a Sh’va a closed syllable can occur at any place in a word.
RuleThree : RuleThree Sh’va Rule One If the Sh’va is under the FIRST letter of a syllable it makes a sound Sh’va Rule Two If the Sh’va is under the LAST letter of a syllable it is silent. Sh’va Rule Three If the Sh’va is under a letter that is not the first letter in the syllable, then it MUST BE the last letter of the syllable. The Sh’va TERMINATES the syllable. So, I call it the TERMINATOR!
RuleThree : RuleThree The TERMINATOR!
Neekt-voo01 : Neekt-voo01 Closed syllable because the sh’va terminates the syllable, pushing the letter back into the previous syllable. This sh’va does make a slight sound (so slight that I gave it only a dotted line for syllable end line)

Combination Vowels : Combination Vowels Before we look at the combination vowels, lets learn why we need combination vowels. In Hebrew words, the letters determine the basic meaning of the word. In fact most Hebrew words have a three letter “root” and everything else that is done to the word adds prefixes and/or suffixes to the root and puts specific vowels in specific spots in the words to determine the tense, the number, the person and the gender of the word. Combination Vowels
Vowels in words : BUT, what if the formula requires a Sh’va under a silent letter? Should we put a silent vowel under a silent letter? That would make it impossible to hear and understand what was being said.
So if the grammar rules require a Sh’va under a silent letter, the Sh’va will be combined with another vowel. The sound we hear is usually the vowel that was added to the Sh’va. Vowels in words Combination Vowels
Vowels in words : Vowels in words Tonight we will look at two combination vowels that make the sound of the added vowel.
We will call these vowels by the name of the added vowel preceded by the word hataf. So there will be a Hataf-Patakh and a Hataf-Segol.
There is one other combination vowel which does change sound, we will let it wait until next time. Combination Vowels
Hataf-Patakh : Hataf-Patakh Hataf-Patakh is a Sh’va which is the vowel that belongs there, on the right, with a Patakh squeezed in beside it on the left to give it the sound of a Patakh.
Hataf-Patakh : Hataf-Patakh
Hataf-Segol : Hataf-Segol Hataf-Segol is a Sh’va which is the vowel that belongs there, on the right, with a Segol squeezed in beside it on the left to give it the sound of a Segol.
