Qamatz Ħatuf (Qamatz Qatan)


בָ / בׇ

Qamatz ħatuf (קָמָץ חָטוּף) or qamatz qatan (קָמָץ קָטָן), the “little qamatz” is a 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.
