30
Q

For which consonants does the Holem sometimes combine with?

A

Sin and Shin

31
Q

There is a rule that “all syllable initial consonants must be followed by a vowel.” How does this help with the Holem combining with Sin and Shin?

If there is a consonant without a vowel, but there is a following Sin or Shin, the Holem has likely combined and now is hidden. (for example: ישְׁבִים
