*** AlyzaCCC changes topic to "Hebrew 101: Lesson 3 continues"
* Dawn tucks tail between legs
 Davida: And I don't have hebrew fonts.....
 Dawn: And Davida won!
 AlyzaCCC: Got names for today
 Ruth: yea Davida
 AlyzaCCC: äðùåù
 AlyzaCCC: äæéìò
 AlyzaCCC: ãåã
 AlyzaCCC: úåø
 AlyzaCCC: Morning light, morning breeze (Tzahfreerah)  äøôö
 AlyzaCCC:   morning (Tzafrah) äøéøôö
 Davida: ho hohohohohoh !
 DaveS: Using the prophetic method
 Dawn: Oh cool!
 AlyzaCCC: Davida, add a hey at the end of ãåã  to get  your name
 Davida: ?
 AlyzaCCC: Dawn, which one you like better, the long one or the short one?
 AlyzaCCC:  äãåã
 AlyzaCCC: that is Davida
 Davida: my whole name is D'vorah Davida.....
 Dawn: The one with 4 letters
 AlyzaCCC: ah, okay, next time I will get D'vorah for you if you want :-)
 AlyzaCCC: okay, Dawn, Tzafra it is
 Davida: 'kay
 Dawn: k:)
 Davida: that's pretty
 Dawn: Is it äøôö  Alyza?
 AlyzaCCC: yes, Dawn, that is Tzafrah
 AlyzaCCC: it means morning
 Davida: Where do I find Hebrew fonts and how do I use them ?
 AlyzaCCC: http://www.geocities.com/~alyza/heb101a.html
 AlyzaCCC: that is the homepage for this class
 AlyzaCCC: okay, let's get to work
 AlyzaCCC: to remind you, In the, this prefix is a bet ...á
 AlyzaCCC: (ie, it has a dagesh inside the letter, making it have the 'b' sound)
 AlyzaCCC: it is voweled  with a patach and pronounce bah-
 AlyzaCCC:  patach is _ in case you forgot the vowel names :-)
 Davida: thank you !
 AlyzaCCC:  In, this prefix is a bet with a shva under it ...á
 AlyzaCCC: it is pronounced bi (bi as in bit but of shorter duration)
 AlyzaCCC: the shva is : in case you have forgoten that vowel's name :-)
 AlyzaCCC: so the same letter, with a different vowel, gives a different meaning
 AlyzaCCC: that being the case, if it is a shva :  I will put no vowel under it, but if it is a patach, I will place
  a _ under the letter so you can differentiate
 AlyzaCCC: okay?
 Dawn: yes:)
 AlyzaCCC: okay, now, we need a noun we can attach it to, something besides a name
 AlyzaCCC: äúë
 AlyzaCCC:  T.
 AlyzaCCC: how would you pronounce that?
 DaveS: !
 AlyzaCCC: GA Dave
 DaveS: Ke-tah
 AlyzaCCC: tov maod
 Davida: I'm gonna go check out the web site......see what I
   can figure out about the fonts.....Thanks for letting me
   hang around for a while..bye now !
 AlyzaCCC: any questions on how Dave got that?
 AlyzaCCC: shalom Davida!
 AlyzaCCC:  Class (f.), there is a dagesh in the first and äúë
 AlyzaCCC: second letter, making them kaf and tav.

*** Davida has left #IsraeliCafe
 AlyzaCCC: by class, I mean a class at school
