I think the correct pronouncing it for ע and ח is from the throat, though today its transformed to the Palate if I understand correctly, probably due to make it easier with the rest of the letters.
Vav is/was also “uau” and “oao.” It is the sixth letter of the Hebrew abjad and it has equivalent in other Semitic abjads. (See Arabic “waw.” Said “oo-ah-oo.”) Hebrew vav was once exactly like Arabic waw, but, like w sounds in other languages, it underwent a sound change, in modern Hebrew becoming “vav.” To save and differentiate these sounds, scholars invented holem and shureq.
I am glad you said: “Hebrew is incredibly complicated and inconsistent”. The only reason I am trying it is because of the Bible, otherwise I would not be investing my time with this.
In Torah the Shewa is under the Yod- The yod makes a Y sound followed by a O at the top of a vav so it would be a low Y and a long O in HASHEMS NAME or would it be YEH
And since simeon kohein hagadol died. No one knows how to say it. The people were ignorant and always said it wrong. When the high priest spoke. The damn fools. This is discussed in bavli talmud.
So shewa can be also e... ? Oh, God 🤦🏻♀️ the first video I saw on that topic + the whole alphabet said is only to make you know where the consonant keeps it's original pronunciation... 🙄 ... now if I think better, more things doesn't glue in my mind...
The humour and frankness really helped me feel better, haha! Thanks so much for this! It explains a lot.
Thank you SO much for this video. This has made everything so much clearer.

Maybe using hebrew words as illustration for differentiating patakh and qamet will help alot. Thanks.
The (i) is the International Phonetic Alphabet symbol for the ee sound

Very helpful - thank you
Nice work here. Thanks for sharing!
Liked the attitude that came along with this..... "physician heal thyself" 😉
Thanks very much for this. The Seow grammar book is driving me mad!! You made this so simple.

Believe it or not around about 2100-1500 BC it was pronounced as a long a. Yeh. Yay.
Close-mid central vowels morphed several times since shephat canaan incorporated their phonology.

You said right when you said " incredibly complicated " I wish you did not make it more complicated by the way you try to explain!
Thanks

So funny brilliant ...
When is yod a consonant? Sorry... I'm kind of a fool ... :/
Yod is a consonant at the beginning of a syllable. It's a vowel in combination when it comes after hireq or sere.
@@kenschenck VERY nice follow up. This helps me.
