Pronunciation Icon For The OT
Is the a pronunciation icon fpr the OT?
I have the Scholar's edition of Logos 4 and that may be my problem. However, when I type an OT passage (e.g., Dan.1:1), the Exegetical Guide will give me the passage in Hebrew and in English. But, there is no pronunciation icons for the Hebrew words. Moreover, if I type in an NT passage (e.g., Matt. 6:33), the Exegetical Guide gives me the passage in Greek and in English. Furthermore, it gives a pronunciation icon for each Greek word.
Thanks : - )

Not to be considered a "smart aleck" or something like that, but I've discovered something over the years. And that is if I learn the alphabet of a language I can begin to pronounce any word in that language. By "learn," I mean to be able to say that alphabet with the same familiarity and speed as my ABCs.Then I learn the markings peculiar to that language to increase accuracy.
It is really cool to be able to know the difference between a lamed and a lambda, but even cooler to know that a lamed can carry an additional meaning in an appropriate context. It takes most people 60 - 90 days of solid practice to master the alphabet of any language to include writing and speaking. The effort is worth it. And then comes grammar studies! yay[8-)]!
I found early on that in both Hebrew and Greek there are no "CH" sounds like in the word "church." Now I don't embarrass myself when saying aloud the proper name, Melchisedek. What's neat is knowing where the accent normally is found and then pronouncing the word. You'll never say Abraham the same way again.... heheh.
God bless

No, you are not being a "smart aleck". My problem is that I am not a Pastor, a Bible Teacher, or a Universtiy Trained Theologian. I have absolutely no training in the orginial languages of the Bible. I majored in accounting in college, and I am a CPA. Actually, I am a tax collector (i.e., I audit tax returns for the Internal Revenue Service). I know that it sounds incongruent but, I love to study the Word of God. I especially love studying the Old Testament.
Thanks for the advice : - )

Unless they've REALLY done their homework, and have the guts to buck the trend of virtually all Hebrew grammars of which I am aware, the pronunciation "guide" will be approx. 50% wrong...and inculcate a whole new generation is a pronunciation system that is flagrantly and provably wrong...not to mention inherently inconsistant. Hope I'm wrong...I REALLY DO...but I'm definitely not going to hold my breath.
If it is based on MODERN Hebrew...it won't be worth mush.

For the purposes of the OP, I suspect the important issue is that it provide a base pronunciation that is understood, not laughed at, by his intended audience. I won't tell you how I used to pronounce pericope.[H]
