Re: The status of the glottal stop in Hebrew

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.
