Hebrew Transliteration
There are transliterations of Hebrew words and phrases throughout
this work. In this regard I have employed the following method.
The Hebrew vowels are pronounced:
“a” — like “a” in “father”;
“e” — like the “e” in “let” or the way the English
pronounce the word “Air” without enunciating the “r”;
“i” — like the “ee” in “seek”;
“o” — like the “o” in “not” or the longer “au” in “naught”;
or again like the sound of the word “Awe”;
“u” — like the “oo” in “mood”;
“ai” — like the letter “y” in “my” or “igh” in “high” or like
the sound of the word “eye”; and
“ei” — like the “ay” in “hay.”
The remaining consonants are as written, except for:
“ch” which is pronounced like the guttural “ch” in the
Scottish “Loch” or the equivalent in the German “Ich,” and
“tz” which sounds like the “tz” in “Ritz” or like the “ts” in
“hearts.”
In most cases an apostrophe (’) indicates a glottal stop which
sounds like the “i” in “bit” or the concluding “er” in “father,”
otherwise it is a small break to separate sections of a word or
create a double syllable. For example, I often hear people speak of
Daat (Knowledge), sounding one long “ah” between the “D” and
the concluding “T.” The correct pronunciation is however Da’at,
the apostrophe indicating that the term comprises actually two
syllables, “dah” and “aht.” In this word a quick glottal stop
separates the one syllable from the other. As a vowel it is the same
sound made when one struggles to find the right word, and say
something like “er.....er......er......”
One further rule is that the accent in Hebrew is, more often
than not, placed on the last syllable of the word. Of course there
are numerous instances which disprove this rule, but it applies
almost throughout Hebrew incantations, e.g. those found in
Merkavistic literature, etc.
