Question on some Hebrew words.

[meaguyyeah]

I noticed there was a Greek language folder but not a Hebrew one, so I posted this here.

My question is dealing with a Hebrew word and transliterating it.

/The_Shema/Shema1/shema1.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.hebrew4christians.com/Scripture//The_Shema/Shema1/shema1.html

If you look at the section of Hebrew between where it says "(response to undertone)" and "Transliteration", there is a long paragraph of Hebrew words. What I would assume to be the fifth Hebrew letter with the hyphen (-) mark is transliterated as bekhol-levavkha. If you can't find it it is suppose to be the word in the Shema' that means "with all your heart".

Here is how I would transliterate it. I see a Bet with sheva so I know it is a dagesh forte and is vocal. I see an accented quamets under the khaf so I think it as an a with "a" so I transliterate the first part as bekhal.

For the second I notice the Lamed with a vocal sheva. I now see a Vet with a long "a" vowel quamets so the sheva after it is vocal. With the sofit form of khaf and another quamets I get levavekha.

All together I get bekhal-levavekha.

Any help is appreciated.

Shabbat Shalom!
Here is the transliterated,
b'chol L'vav'cha "With all your heart"

Hope that helps. You were on the right track, good job

First, Shabbat Shalom.
Secondly, I thank you for your help and I want to say I believe your transliteration is correct. May I ask why the b'chol is an o an not an a? If it requires too long of an explanation then I understand. I am just curious so not to make the same blunder again.Thank you for the help again.

Sometimes it is an "o" and not an "a". I am not sure who is to be credited with that disposition. It goes beyond my understanding and teaching.
