This means that the following letter, with the second Shva, starts the next syllable. Thus, the first Shva is silent, and the second Shva is na`. Here are a some small notes, not so much “rules”: If an identical letter follows a Shva nach (e.g. הַלְלוּ), the shva is pronounced, but very weakly, even relative to other Shvas.

2021年4月13日 · The Shva was originally intended to mark the fact that there is NO vowel on the כ. The argument that it should be na` is dispelled by our knowledge of the evolution of spoken Hebrew. However, as written above, the original form of the word did have a vowel in the second syllable, which we would write as a chataf-Patach.

2015年8月31日 · For example, in וידברו (Genesis 34:20) and ויהי־אור (Genesis 1:3), the shva on the yod is nach. The second exception is not so much an exception, but a clarification that the vowel that looks short is actually long ( ie. chirik missing its …

2023年2月26日 · Does anyone know of any downloadable digitized text that marks the 'shva na's? For now, I am looking specifically for a text of Megilas Ester. But I would appreciate all of Tanach and also the siddur. As a bonus, does anyone know an easy ASCII or equivalent code to change the look of a shva to differentiate the shva na's from the shva nach's?

2024年3月21日 · There are several words in the Kaddish with the root "עלם" and a kamatz under the ayin, and a shva under the lamed, such as: בְּעָלְמָא , וּלְעָלְמֵי , עָלְמַיָּא. My intuition tells me that in each of these words, the kamatz under the ayin is a regular kamatz ( not kamatz katan), and the shva under the lamed ...

2016年11月2日 · The reason for the composite shva(on the aleph of elohim and of adonai), changed to a simple shva(on the yud of YHVH), is likely because(or at least something to do with the fact that), yud is allowed a simple vocal shva. (unlike aleph, which is in adonai and elohim, an aleph's vocal shva has to be composite).

Clear exceptions are when that consonant is a guttural and cannot receive a Dagesh. However, in the Bible in some cases, it seems like omission of the Dagesh occurs even in non-gutturals, specifically the letters Yud, Lamed, Mem, when these are pointed with a Shva. I'm wondering what the rationale for that could be?

2017年5月22日 · @DanF later editions of Birnbaum do emphasise shva' na' and kamatz katon. I'm not a huge fan of them, but since I was gabbaing a minyan which uses Birnbaum machzorim over Rosh haShannah, I did notice that, as I did daven out of one (mostly).

2023年9月19日 · And some a shva na. Same thing for וְגַם כָּל הַיְצוּר לֹא נִכְחַד מִמֶּךָּ and כִּי זֵכֶר כָּל הַיְצוּר לְפָנֶיךָ בָּא (musaf of Rosh Hashana, bracha of zichronos ).

You are correct in that a I-guttural (a peh-gronit verb) usually takes a composite shewa (although be mindful of the fact that it's not always with patach), but the major exception to this is where it appears in a closed syllable, after the Lamed of the infinitive construct, in which it often (although not always) takes a regular shewa.
