An example of an aleph in an akward position is in the word "Rosh" (As in
Rosh Hashanah), as the aleph comes after the o. I am guessing this would
be ignored, also, do ALL words in Hebrew that begin with a vowel have a
glottal stop before them? Or only the ones spelt with an aleph? I may be
wrong, but where a glottal stop ends a word, it seems to be ignored. Also,
is aleph pronounced when it occurs in the middle of a phrase/sentence?
(Not phrase initial). Thanks.
