«zahorayim/tzohorayim»
Also
Naomi.

It seems that according to the English Transliteration that the 1st syllable is a komatz gadol and the 2nd is a komatz katan.

NA - O - Me

Whether the English Scholars actually knew what they were doing or not is yet another topic.

Hi,


I'm not sure I agree with Aryeh. If that chataf kamatz were a regular shva (and it's only a chataf because it can't take a shva), then the preceding kamatz would be katan. So to me it makes sense that kamatz katan is more technically correct.


That said, in Eretz Yisrael nowadays you'll here both on virtually every word, including No'omi/Na'omi, and including Kabbalat Shabbat's "gam ra'u pho'oli/pha'oli".

In true Hebrew it is a Kamatz Gadol (although I am not sure why is some cases).
In Modern Israeli it is treated as a Kamatz Katan.

When a kamatz comes before a chataf-kamatz, is it katan?
Examples are tzahorayim/tzohorayim and mimachorat/mimochorat.


Simanim and the Rinat Yisrael seem to say the first. New Koren editions seem to say the second.

I'm not sure that I agree

A closes syllable AFAIK has a sh'va nach

This hataf Kamatz replaces a sh'va na which aiui does not [necessarily] close the syllable.

EG Hochmah, the chaf has a sh'va na.

Hi Richard,


No, the chaf of chochmah is a nach, not a na.

Now that I see that Richard corrected himself, I retract my correction!

My daughter and son-in-law call our granddaughter NAY-O-MI. (Yes, with a diphthong as is common in American pronunciation of this name.) OY!

 

My husband and I call her NO-O-MI (or, in short, Nomi).

 

She’s only 2 YO and doesn’t seem to care! J
