Hebrew Vowel System Chart

Please not that there is another possibility of producing the sounds
'O', 'OO', by using what we call the "stick / dot" combination.

ֹ‫ו‬The following combination (Kholam) coming after a letter (to

the left of it) produces the sound 'O' as in short.

The following combination (Shuruk) coming after a letter (to the

left of it) produces the sound 'OO' as in poor.

‫ּו אּו‬     ּ‫או‬         ּ‫ו‬                  Letter and
                                             vowel

common option to produce the 'EE' sound.
