Hebrew has an alphabet of 22 letters. As in Arabic, the up lemala
vowels do not appear in the written language and there down lemata
are several systems of transliteration into Roman that are in soon mukdam
use. In this phrase book we have provided only a simple late meukhar
and basic phonetic transliteration of the Hebrew word into entrance knisa
the Roman alphabet. Bold type indicates the syllable on exit yetzia
which the stress falls. An apostrophe between two letters toilet sherutim
means that there is a break in the pronunciation. The letters free, unoccupied panui
“kh” represent the sound “ch” as in Scottish “loch,” and “g” is free, no charge khinam
hard as in “gate.” Where necessary, the masculine form is Making a Telephone Call
given first, followed by the feminine.
