Hi, I was looking for a good book on Hebrew that describes the placement of points and such and noticed the reference to Harrison. The associated text below is along the lines of what I am looking for. However, the reviews at Amazon are not very good for this title.
I would be interested in suggestions for a good book along these lines. Reply to me privately, if there is interest I will repost the suggestions in a single message back to the list. tex Chris Jacobs wrote: "When holem precedes א, the point is placed on the upper right of the letter, as with יֹאמַר (yō’mǎr). When it follows the א, the point is placed on the upper left, as in אֹבֵד (’ōbhēdh). When holem precedes שׁ, the points coincide, as with מֹשֶׁל (mōšěl). When holem follows שׂ, the points again coincide as with שֹׂטֵן (sōṭēn). The letter שֹׁ will be "šō" to commence a syllabe, e.g., שֹׁמַע (šōmǎ‘), and "ōs" in other places." [ R.K.
