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.

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.
