[Heb-NACO] Reminder about Vav ha-hibur (ve)

[Galron, Joseph]

Colleagues,
Please check your Even Shoshan (2003 and later), vol. 6, page 2153 for the rules of vocalization  (and Romanization) of Vav ha-hibur:

The word  ואני (and me)  should be Romanized as va-ani and not ve-ani. The word Ani has a Hataf-Patah under the Alef. According to the grammatical rules the Vav gets the sound of the Hataf.

The King and I will be ha-Melekh va-ani

The book I have before me:  “Bibi and me” should be  Bibi va-ani.

Happy cataloging
