Kamatz → Qamatz – It is spelled Qamatz throughout the article. I would have done this myself, but I was afraid that there was a reason why the article was called Kamatz (with redirect from Qamatz) even though it's not spelled that way in the article. ubiquity (talk) 15:27, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
- Qamatz is an outdated way of Hebrew-English transliteration and current schemes prefer K, see Romanization of Hebrew. According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Hebrew) k is prefered and an "avoid q" remark was given, so we should change article grammar, not the heading. DGtal (talk) 09:14, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Qaamaats has the sound of an R-controlled vowel? Seriously???
[edit]I don't know who is responsible for suggesting that qaamaats has the sound of an R-controlled vowel ("a" as in "far"!), but if they have a degree in any area of phonolgy, phonemics, or linguistics, they should return it for a full refund. That is about as far-fetched a proposition as anything I have ever heard. Far-fetched, as in "impossible". It's so absurd it isn't even laughable. This needs to be revised to reflect a plausible pronunciation, i.e. one that isn't absurd on its face. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.109.32 (talk) 20:08, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
No References
[edit]This article has no references and as such does not qualify as an encyclopedic article. Therefore I am erasing it until such time as an article with valid references can be constructed to replace it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.191.109.32 (talk) 17:20, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Kamatz Katan as /o/ and [ʊ] ??!!
[edit]At the beginning of this article, the phonetic transcription for Biblical Kamatz Katan is written as /o/. But, the next table reads [ʊ] as its phonemic transcription.
The Wikipedia article for Niqqud uses [ɔ].
A table of the article for Tiberian vocalization uses [ɔ], too, but, unfortunately, it does not specify that the table is considering the Katan version of such vowel.
Could there be a way to reconcile all these transcriptions across articles?
