1 Hebrew words with more than one syllable usually accent the final syllables pronouncing the final Consonant-Vowel-Consonant as one syllable. For instance, the word yIn’a, in the vocabulary list, is pronounced "a-niy" rather than "an-iy."
2 The English verb "to be" and its various tenses (am, is, are, etc.) do not exist in Hebrew and need to be added in the translation.
3 English has two indefinite articles, "a" and "an" which also do not exist in Hebrew and must be added in the translation.
4 When the letter h is prefixed to a word it means "the" such as in sentence #6 where the letter h is prefixed to the word ayib"n (prophet) forming ayib"n’h, meaning "the prophet."
