About: Rafe

An Entity of Type: WikicatHebrewDiacritics, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In Hebrew orthography the rafe or raphe (Hebrew: רָפֶה, pronounced [ʁaˈfe], meaning "weak, limp") is a diacritic (⟨ ֿ‎ ⟩), a subtle horizontal overbar placed above certain letters to indicate that they are to be pronounced as fricatives. In some siddurs (e.g. those printed by ArtScroll) a diacritical symbol, typographically the same as the rafe, but utterly unrelated, is used to mark instances of "moving sheva" (Shva Na). The rafe is similar in function to the buailte (dot above, denoting lenition) in the old-style Irish alphabet.

  • En l'ortografia de l'idioma Hebreu el rafe, també raphe (Hebreu: רפה, ʀaˈfe, que significa "feble"), és un diacrític; una barra horitzontal curta col·locada a dalt de certes lletres per indicar que elles han de ser pronunciades com a fricatives. (ca)
  • En la ortografía del idioma Hebreo el rafe, también raphe (Hebreo: רפה, ʀaˈfe, que significa "débil"), es un diacrítico; una barra horizontal corta colocada arriba de ciertas letras para indicar que ellas deben ser pronunciadas como fricativas. (es)
  • In Hebrew orthography the rafe or raphe (Hebrew: רָפֶה, pronounced [ʁaˈfe], meaning "weak, limp") is a diacritic (⟨ ֿ‎ ⟩), a subtle horizontal overbar placed above certain letters to indicate that they are to be pronounced as fricatives. It originated with the Tiberian Masoretes as part of the extended system of niqqud (vowel points), and has the opposite meaning of dagesh qal, showing that one of the letters בגדכפת is to be pronounced as a fricative and not as a plosive, or (sometimes) that a consonant is single and not double; or, as the opposite to a mappiq, to show that the letters ה or א are silent (mater lectionis). The rafe generally fell out of use for Hebrew with the coming of printing, although according to Gesenius (1813) at that time it could still be found in a few places in printed Hebrew Bibles, where the absence of a dagesh or a mappiq was noticeable. (e.g. Exodus 20:13,14,15; Deuteronomy 5:13,17,18,19; 2 Samuel 11:1; Isaiah 22:10; Jeremiah 20:17; Psalm 119:99; Zechariah 5:11) In some siddurs (e.g. those printed by ArtScroll) a diacritical symbol, typographically the same as the rafe, but utterly unrelated, is used to mark instances of "moving sheva" (Shva Na). The rafe is similar in function to the buailte (dot above, denoting lenition) in the old-style Irish alphabet. (en)
  • Le rafè (hébreu : רָפֵא « faible, » « mou ») est un signe diacritique de l'alphabet hébraïque, représenté graphiquement par une barre courte placée au-dessus de certaines lettres, afin d'indiquer que leur prononciation ne doit pas être accentuée. (fr)
  • Nell'alfabeto ebraico la rafe, o più comunemente farro, (in ebraico: רָפֵה pronuncia: [ʁafe]), è un segno diacritico (⟨ֿ⟩), una barra sopra sottile orizzontale posto sopra alcune lettere per indicare che devono essere pronunciate come fricative. È nato con i Masoreti tiberiensi come parte del sistema esteso di niqqud (punti vocalici), e ha il significato opposto a , dimostrando che una delle lettere בגדכפת deve essere pronunciata come una fricativa e non come plosiva, o (a volte) che una consonante è singolo e non doppio; o, come l'opposto di un , per dimostrare che le lettere ה o א sono mute (mater lectionis). Il rafe generalmente cadde in disuso per l'ebraico con l'avvento della stampa, anche se secondo Gesenius (1813) alla sua epoca poteva ancora essere trovato in alcune copie a stampa della Bibbia ebraica, dove l'assenza di un dagesh o mappiq era particolarmente evidente (es Esodo 20: 13,14,15; Deuteronomio 5:. 13,17,18,19; 2 Samuele 11: 1; Isaia 22:10; Geremia 20:17; Salmo 119: 99; Zaccaria 05:11) In alcuni siddur (ad esempio quelli stampato da Artscroll) un simbolo diacritico identico, ma non collegato, alla rafe viene utilizzato per contrassegnare la "sheva mobile" (Shva Na).
