Review

Last lesson we learned....

• Four new letters: heh, vav, yod, lamed

• Basic rules for syllables:
  • Each syllable begins with a consonant.
  • Must include only one vowel.
  • May be an open syllable (ending in a vowel), or a closed syllable (ending in a consonant.)
  • If the last letter of a word is a consonant, the final syllable is closed.

• Use of alef, heh, vav and yod as matres lectionis.
  • Yod usually for I-Type or E-Type vowels.
  • Vav usually for U-Type or O-Type vowels.
  • Alef and heh, usually for open vowels, but heh is only used this way for the last letter of a word.

• New words: LeV, BaVeL, and LeVah.
