Hebrew[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From כְּתִיב (k'tív) + חָסֵר (khasér); hence literally "spelling that is lacking".
Noun[edit]
כְּתִיב חָסֵר • (k'tív khasér) m
- Ktiv haser: a style of Hebrew spelling that uses neither diacritics (except sometimes sparingly) nor extra vowel letters (compared to traditional spelling); contrasted with כְּתִיב מָלֵא (k'tív malé), which also doesn't use the diacritics, but which compensates by using vowel letters more heavily.
Antonyms[edit]
- (antonym(s) of “style of Hebrew spelling”): כתיב מלא (k'tív malé)
