1 The letter Shin () differs from Sin () only in the position of the diacritical point. Neither is much used, (without the point) being used for both. In the Hebrew alphabet, consonants are represented by letters, the vowels being indicated by means of points over or under the consonants, (o), ☀ (ah), (eh),? (i), (oo), which are, however, usually omitted in works for the advanced student: NOTE. All points except the last two are placed immediately below the letter. The relative positions of the last two are as indicated in connection with the letter 1. There are neither lower case, small caps, nor italics, but some of the letters are varied in shape when occurring at the end of a word: Caph (5), Mem (▲), Nun (1), Feh (D), and Sadhe (), are changed to 1, 2, 1, 7, P. The rule is not to divide Hebrew words, but in order to fill out a short line, five of the letters are also made of more than normal width: N, 7, 7, 2, 7, In Yiddish (printed in Hebrew characters), however, divisions are made, when necessary, in the Government Printing Office. This practice is also common in newspaper work.
