单词 sheva
释义

shevan.

Brit. /ʃəˈvɑː/, U.S. /ʃəˈvɑ/
Forms: Also shewa /ʃəˈwɑː/, shva; schwa n.
Etymology: < Rabbinic Hebrew sheˈwā, apparently an arbitrary alteration of shāw' , emptiness, vanity. (In German books spelt schwa , whence schwa n.)
1. Hebrew Grammar. (a) The sign ְ placed under a consonant letter to express (what Jewish grammarians regard as) the absence of a following vowel sound. In certain positions the sheva (called quiescent sheva) has really no sound; but in others it is sounded as the neutral vowel /ə/, and is then called movable (or vocal) sheva. compound sheva: any of the signs ֳ, ֲ, ֱ, which represent the neutral vowel with a colouring of ŏ, ă, ĕ respectively. (b) The sound of ‘movable sheva’.
