The ancient language of ivrit ( עברית ) - Yod
Shabbat Shalom
Like the Alphabet, The letters in Hebrew are called the Alef - Beyt and they are presented on my blog from bottom to the top so you can learn them order, then to read them right to left. You will see what the original "Bible" said and what the names meant as they went through the stories of old.
Here is Yod : symbolizing a hand, fist, outstretched arm, power and might.
note that the next lesson is on Kaf: also means "hand" (an open palm, weak)
Yod can be a consonant and sounds like "yellow"
Yod as a vowel sounds like "ee" many times and in "greet"
As the second consecutive vowel, it either extends and "ee" sound
- Hey : the "y" or yod adds or extends the "ee" sound
- Weigh: "i" adds the "ee" sound.
This is a very important letter
Above you have a written Yod (some write it Yud)
- left, you have the spelling of the letter "yod"
- right, you have the spelling of the word "yad" which means hand
Yod is the smallest letter. Like a little fist.
It is the first in the name of the almighty
It is the first in the name Yeshua
It performs many grammatical functions (that we will learn later)
It's the tenth letter and is the number 10 when used as a number.
- - -
Where we are so far?
Only 12 more letters and you will be reading!
The vowels only have about five sounds - and I will keep telling you how they sound as we go
- don't worry about the names of the vowels unless you plan to teach Hebrew.
I hope to add meaning to these little lessons each Shabbat as we go. Then we can read together with the vowel points in place and see how it all jives with English.
Thanks for taking the time to read.

really mate, we have to learn a lot from @hebrew. he was very consistent in developing his article on Hebrew language learning
Agreed with you both he increased my knowledge infact steemit is a great platform where a person can increase knowledge in quite enjoying way ! like this one ! now we get to know about hebrew languange learning ! :)
I am amazed at your ability to take something as intricate as this, and explain it in a way that it becomes understandable, in all honesty numerous classes at institutions that teach language could not have made me grasp what you explained above.
So Great work!
Looking forward to more lessons!
Thank you so much. every encouraging reply causes me to put more effort into making the pictures look better and keeping explanations simple.

thanks friend for giving us knowledge and also for your effort for all ,best of luck god bless u and also am new here so am looking for your support i hope u support me also like other u do ? ...):
My pleasure, Steem-On
It certainly helps when each letter is related back to its original pictograph. The idea of a closed hand becomes like a word mnemonic helping us to remember each letter and the idea behind each letter. I am certain these tools were used to help the orators and teachers of old memorize these stories as part of the Original Oral Torah.
I am sure that it could have been!
I don't think I ever really realized how intricate it was until now...
