ŏ Jŏhuδing

Dom·lathṁar (**de-lath-amhar > deltamhar?) in mbróŋae den césand (the "bróngae" met us in the "césand") (direct evolution to Anbirese: **Tŏn:laδvŏr ŏ m-prongae djŏn χjesŏnd, JAnb: זאלתאבאר א מ-בּרוֹעא זאן שייסאנט אַם Dzaelþever e m-bronge dzen shėsend am)

Vowels

The Judeo-Anbirese vowel system is identical to Italian or Tiberian Hebrew (in stressed syllables).

• אי i (= chiriq) /i/
• איי ė (= tzere) /e/
• א e (= segol) /E/
• אַ a (= patach) /a/
• אָ ŏ (= qamatz) /O/
• אוֹ o (= cholam) /o/
• אוּ u (= shuruq) /u/

Hebrew reading

/u o O a E e i (shva na) (chataf patach) (chataf segol) (chataf qamatz)/ u o ŏ a e ė i ŏ a e ŏ, but some dialects use a instead of ŏ for shva na
