Verse:Irta/Hebrew: Difference between revisions

Line 35:

* lamed not before a vowel is dark [ɫ] and may be vocalized to [w].

* resh is [ɹ]; in basilectal speech, dropped when not before a vowel

* A six-vowel system: /i e ɛ a ɔ o u/ = [i~ej ~~e e~~ a o ø u~ü].

* A six-vowel system: /i e ɛ a ɔ o u/ = [i~ej ɛ ɛ a o ø u~ü].

* Shva is dropped using similar rules to Israeli Hebrew. If shva is pronounced as a vowel, it is pronounced as [ə].

* /sθ/, /šθ/ are allowed as clusters, as in סתיו /sθov/ 'autumn', שתה /~~šθe~~/ 'drink! (m. sg.)'

* /θ/ is allowed as a second element in clusters that begin in an obstruent: e.g. /sθ/, /ʃθ/ are allowed as clusters, as in סתיו /sθov/ 'autumn', שתה /ʃθɛ/ 'drink! (m. sg.)'

* Ayin not before a vowel (whether shva, chataf or final), /aʕ eʕ ɔʕ oʕ iʕ uʕ/ = [a: ea oa~o øa ia ua]. Nasal realizations [ɑ̃ː ɛ̃ː ɔ̃ː œ̃ː iɑ̃~ẽː uɑ̃~õː] or pharyngeal realizations (pronouncing a pharyngeal ayin) are considered overly proper and formal.
