:B-- in, by, with :K -- as, like, according to :l -- to, for, at

RULES Normally pointed with a sheva and prefixed to the word When prefixed before a sheva, the sheva of the preposition becomes a hireq: e.g. - tyir:B becomes tyir:biB When prefixed before a compound sheva it's pointed with the short vowel of the class: e.g. re$A) becomes re$A)aK When an inseparable preposition is prefixed to a noun that has the definite article, the consonant of the preposition merges with the vowel of the definite article:

$yI) (a man) becomes $yi):l (for a man) $yi)fh (the man becomes $yi)fl (for the man)
The

}im Prepositions: }im means from.

Before a word that has a definite article, the }im is joined to the word by a maqqef. Before indefinite nouns that begin with a non-guttural, }im is written as

im

(a mem plus a hireq with a dagesh forte).

Before indefinite nouns that begin with a guttural, }im is written as The Vav conjunction "and" is not a separate word, but is a

"m

:w prefixed to a word.

The exception to this pointing is "bmp" -- that is if a word begins with a b m or p , the vav conjunction becomes a sureq. This is the only time a vowel will start a word. VOCABULARY
