EXERCISE: NAMING THE CONSONANTS INSIDE THE SYLLABLES.
(The syllables are divided according to Hebrew grammar rules.)

The Rules are:

  1. A vowel attached (associated: under or to left) to a consonant = a syllable.

  2. Silent letter: A letter without vowel attached.
    ( Usually the last letter of a word (as in words no. 6,9)

  3. Silent syllables: The vowel attached is not sounded.
    ( Read rule no. 3 below ). ( As in words no. 1, 5 ).
