**Qamatz ħatuf** (<wrap>קָמָץ חָטוּף</wrap>) or **qamatz qatan** (<wrap :he>קָמָץ קָטָן</wrap>), the "little qamatz" is a **[[short vowels|short]]** O-Class vowel.

It usually appears identical to the regular [[qamatz]], being represented by a horizontal line beneath the letter with a teardrop or do underneath it, sometimes merged and represented as a simple "T" shape.  Rarely, the teardrop shape may be longer to distinguish the **qamatz hatuf**

The **short** O-Class **qamatz ħatuf** sounds like the “o” in token.
