Title: for kahanebt, re pronunciation
Post by: q_q_ on September 14, 2008, 07:51:51 PM

I suggest the book "How the hebrew language grew"

there you will learn the terminology - palatial, gutteral, dental.

also, I suggest including sources.e.g. specific html links as refs. 'cos often you bring up interesting things but don't mention specifically where you noticed it. e.g. a discussion on a forum.

D is dental.   Tongue on teeth, behind teeth infact.

B and V are labial. Lips.

I suppose the sound baTH and the sound THe/faTHer, (different sounds of course) are dental too. tongue on bottom of top teeth.      (THe being soft daled, THing/baTH being soft tav/taw)   

Gutteral means throat restriction.

listen to judea going through the alphabet. The letters "Chet" and Ayin are gutteral forms of Heh and Aleph respectively.

And, if you can write the word, and you know what vowels it has in written form. then you can pronounce the word however many e.g. 3 different ways.  The written way you learn, is the universal thing.
