Vowels

  • אַ
    Patach /a/ · A as in fatherA single flat horizontal dash — the shortest possible mark for the shortest, flattest "ah."
  • אָ
    Kamats /a/ · A as in fatherHistorically a long ah (vs. Patach's short one) — in Modern/Sephardi pronunciation the two have merged to the same sound, so this pair is really about recognizing two different written marks for one sound.
