Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin mater lectionis.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin mater lectionis (1609 (in Drusius Opuscula quae ad Grammaticam spectant Omnia de Recta Lectione Linguae Sanctae), or earlier) < classical Latin māter mother n.¹ + lectiōnis , genitive singular of lectiō reading (see lection n.), probably after post-biblical Hebrew 'ēm qĕrī'āh (also 'ēm haqqĕrī'āh), lit. ‘mother of the reading’.Drusius identifies the letters as ‘Aleph, Vau & Ioth’ (aleph, waw, and yod); the same letters are referred to as ‘mothers’ in David Qimḥi Sefer ha-Mikhlol (Hebrew Grammar) (early 13th cent.; printed in 1532), with the explanation that no word or letter can be pronounced without them. Qimḥi attributes the use to the author of Sefer Yetsirah (3rd or 4th cent.) but there ‘mother’ is applied kabbalistically (rather than phonetically) to the letters aleph, mem, and shin.

A letter which performs the function of a diacritical mark; (spec. in Hebrew writing) a consonantal sign which indicates that a vowel sound is to be supplied.

1820 R. Heber Let. 1 Apr. in A. Heber Life R. Heber (1830) II. xviii. 19 I enquired if this prolific ‘Mater Lectionis’ was a very long one? ‘Only four syllables’, he answered.

1846 B. Davies tr. F. H. W. Gesenius Hebrew Gram. i. i. §8 The vowel-letters are also called by grammarians, matres lectionis (since they partly serve as guides in reading the unpointed text).

1925 P. Radin tr. J. Vendryes Language v. i. 328 In the Greek alphabet the principle of the matres lectionis was skilfully used for the creation of a special sign for each vowel.

1977 Language 53 930 With sound change, some consonant symbols survived where only vowels occurred. Unless such consonants were used to write these vowels elsewhere, one does not have matres lectionis.

1991 Canad. Jrnl. Linguistics 36 193 Examples include such items as mappīq, a dot within an <h>, showing that it is not a mater lectionis, or diacritical letter.
