Verse:Tdūrzů/Hebrew: Difference between revisions

Line 287:

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

* Obstruent + /θ/ clusters are allowed, e.g. סתיו /sθov/ ''sthov'' 'autumn', שתה /ʃθɛ/ ''shthe'' 'drink! (m. sg.)'

* Ayin not before a vowel (whether shva, chataf or final) behaves much like in Israeli Hebrew: /aʕ eʕ ɔʕ oʕ iʕ uʕ/ = [ɑ: ea oa~o øa ia ua]. Nasal realizations [ɑ̃ː ɛ̃ː ɔ̃ː œ̃ː iɑ̃~ẽː uɑ̃~õː] ~~or pharyngeal realizations (pronouncing a pharyngeal ayin)~~ may be present in proper and formal speech.

* Ayin not before a vowel (whether shva, chataf or final) behaves much like in Israeli Hebrew: /aʕ eʕ ɔʕ oʕ iʕ uʕ/ = [ɑ: ea oa~o øa ia ua]. Nasal realizations [ɑ̃ː ɛ̃ː ɔ̃ː œ̃ː iɑ̃~ẽː uɑ̃~õː] may be present in proper and formal speech, but sounds affected in colloquial usage.

* /h/-dropping does not occur word-initially or on the onset of a stressed syllable, except possibly in function words. The /h/ in the definite article /ha/ is not dropped phrase-initially.
