The sound of patach in Weingreen's book
Posted: Fri Sep 17, 2021 12:09 pm
I am used to pronouncing both patach and qamatz by the same quality of sound, but discovered that both Weingreen and Practico give the sound of patach as in "had", "bad", etc. I didn't notice earlier because I skimmed over them in Weingreen since I already knew (so I thought). Blueletter Bible seems to follow this - https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon ... v/wlc/0-1/ (click the speaker icon under "pronunciation)
Question: Where did Weingreen get it from? It sounds like Arabic to me. Are there any Jewish communities who pronounce patach as Weingreen suggests?
