Notes

  • The alphabetic order is a modified Latin order, keeping the begadkepat consonants (b, d, g, k, p, t) together.
    • /d/-/ð/, /t/-/θ/, and /g/-/ʝ/ are differenced with a dot on the voiced consonant, like the Hebrew dagesh kal.
    • /b/-/β/, /k/-/ç/, and /p/-/φ/ make use of the Latin letters.
  • The begadkepat consonants lenite into their corresponding fricatives when they follow a vowel, either between two vowels (דַּבַר davar, word) or between a vowel and a consonant (מִדבַּר midbar, desert). This lenition even occurs across word boundaries (בַּנֻ בַיִת banu vayit, they build a house).
    • This lenition does not occur in some borrowed words, e.g., hurikan הֻרִכַּך.
    • The addition of the definite article הַ ha does not lenite a following consonant.
  • /ə/ is marked with the overdot as used on the consonants.
  • <ħ> and <ż> are taken from the Maltese alphabet.
  • /ʃ/ is marked with the overdot as if it were the shin dot.

Notes

  • 1 ט (Tet) /t/ has been deleted from the alphabet and replaced in all instances by ת (Taf) /t/.
  • 2 ק (Quf) has been deleted from the alphabet and replaced in all instances by כּ (Ka).
  • 3 The glottal stop (Ayin <ע> /ʔ/ is used to separate the same contiguous vowels, e.g., נַ֜עַר, ná'ar, boy, or <ė> /ə/ from a vowel, e.g., סְעׇרַ sė'ora, barley.
  • 4 שׂ (Sin) /s/ has been deleted from the alphabet and replaced in all instances by ס (Sámeħ). Thus the dot is not needed for Shin.
  • 5 ה (He) has been deleted when syllable final.
  • 6 ח (Heth) has been deleted from the alphabet and replaced in all instances by כ (Ka).
  • Use of the five final forms is optional.
  • There are no geminate consonants.

Notes

  • 1 The two phonemes are allophonic. /i/ tends to be used in open syllables and /ɪ/ in closed syllables, e.g., גִּבַ giva, hill /giβa/; אִש , man /ɪʃ/. However, /i/ is retained in the plural suffix -im /im/.
  • 2 The two phonemes are allophonic. /e/ tends to be used in open syllables and /ɛ/ in closed syllables, e.g., מֶ֜לֶכ méleħ /ˈmelɛç/, king; מֶלכִּם melkim /mɛlˈkim/, kings.
  • All vowels are of equal length.
