Syllables

Introduced in Lesson 3

1. Every Hebrew syllable begins with a consonant (C)
2. Every syllable includes a vowel (V)
3. A syllable MAY end with an additional consonant:
   1. If it ends with a vowel, it is called an “open syllable” (CV)
   2. If it ends with a consonant, it is called a “closed syllable” (CVC)
4. If a word ends with a consonant, its last syllable is always closed (CVC)
