From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ktiv Hasar Niqqud (IPA: [ktiv ħaˈsaʁ niˈkud]; Hebrew: כתיב חסר ניקוד, literally "spelling lacking niqqud"), (colloquially known as Ktiv Male (IPA: [ktiv maˈlɛ]; Hebrew: כתיב מלא), literally "full spelling") are the rules for writing Hebrew without vowel pointers (niqqud).
In modern Israeli orthography niqqud is seldom used, except in specialized texts such as dictionaries, poetry, or texts for children or for new immigrants. For purposes of disambiguation, a system of spelling-without-niqqud, ktiv male, has developed. This was formally standardised in the Rules for the Spelling-Without-Niqqud (כללי הכתיב חסר הניקוד) enacted by the Academy of the Hebrew Language in 1996.[1]
This system offers a correct and consistent spelling style throughout niqqud-less Hebrew writing. Hebrew dictionaries such as, Millon Ha'Hove and Rav Milim, use the niqqud-less spelling. However, other publishers contest some specific words.
