Holam ( ', Modern Hebrew: (:χoˈlam), Biblical Hebrew: (:ħoˈlam)) is a Hebrew niqqud vowel sign represented by a dot above the upper left corner of the consonant letter. For example, here the ' appears after the letter ''mem'' : . In modern Hebrew it indicates the mid back rounded vowel, , and is transliterated as an ''o''. The mater lectionis letter which is usually employed with ' is vav, although in a few words, the letters ' or ' are used instead of '. When it is used with a mater lectionis, the ' is called ' (Modern: (:χoˈlam maˈle), Biblical: (:ħoˈlam maˈle), "full "), and without it the ' is called ' (Modern: (:χoˈlam χaˈseʁ), Biblical: (:ħoˈlam ħaˈser)). ==Appearance== Holam without ''mater lectionis'' after it or with the letter He, as in (, "here"), is written as a dot above the upper left corner of the letter after which it is pronounced. Letter-spacing is not supposed to be affected by it, although some buggy computer fonts may add an unneeded space before the next letter. If the ''mater lectionis'' is ', the ' appears above the '. If the ''mater lectionis'' is ', as in (, "no"), it is supposed to appear above the 's right hand, although this is not implemented in all computer fonts, and not always appears even in professionally typeset modern books, so ' with ' may, in fact, appear in the same place as a regular '. If the' itself is not a ''mater lectionis'', but a consonant, the ' appears in its regular place above the upper left corner of the previous letter, as in (, "epithet"). If ' is written after ', as in (, "to agonize"), it may appear above the ', or slightly further to the left; this varies between different fonts. In some fonts Holam merges with the Shin dot, in words such as (, 'darkness') or with the Sin dot, as in (, 'satiation'). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
