Pronunciation of Reading
Question
Hello,
How is the kamatz-shva pronounced in speech?
"Ve'hirkavticha al bamotey [bamotey] aretz ve'he'echalticha nachalat Yaakov".
Is it as if it is a full cholam? Or a kamatz?
Another example:
"Raban Shimon ben Gamliel says: 'The tzori is nothing but the resin that drips from the trees of the ketaf.'
How is the tzori pronounced? As if it were a kamatz, or a shva?
Answer
Hello
According to what I have clarified with the experts, it is pronounced as a full kamatz, but its pronunciation is slightly hastened.
