dagesh lene | indicates bgdkpt letters are using their hard sound |
dagesh forte | indicates letter is being doubled, if it appears in a bgdkpt letter, the letter is both doubled and hard. |
mappiq | looks like a dagesh but is used to mark a ה that is used as a consonant instead of a mater letter. |
composite shewa | used by guttural letters in place of a regular vocal shewa |
furtive patah | usually appears before a final guttural, especially ח or ע, for the sake of pronunciation. |
