This page provides additional practice and advanced discussion for the letters you should have
learned in Hebrew for Dummies - Lesson 7.
If you need practice saying or reading the letters - go back to lesson 7 first.
ך and ח at the
end of a word
ח at the end of a word, after a vav, can take a vowel sound that is sounded
before the consonant letter:
רוח - Wind is sounded Roo' Akh
לוח - Blackboard is sounded Loo akh.
ך Khaf at the end of a word can take a vowel sound that is sounded after
the consonant letter:
לך - To you is sounded Leh khah'
Of course, the differences are due to different placement of vowels.
