Hi Jasmin,

In biblical Hebrew grammar, the sheva under the second kof would be a vocal sheva.  Because a vav holem is a long vowel, the syllable kof vav holem is an open syllable so the second kof is the beginning of the next syllable and therefore the sheva is a vocal sheva.  I don’t know if this historical grammar applies to modern Hebrew pronunciation of the word.

best wishes,
Jerry Anne

Hi, all,

The above is found in a couple titles by Toviyah Rubner (and is cited from him in the E.-Sh. entry for word). It has historically been romanized as ḳeloḳelim. My question is, why is the sheva under the second kof romanized as though it were a vocalized sheva? As a sheva merahef, wouldn’t it be ignored and the word romanized ḳeloḳlim?

Looking forward to your input.

Thanks, Jasmin
