• According to the Academy of the Hebrew language, words with a Qamatz Qaṭan or Ḥaṭaf Qamatz should not be spelled with vav (ו) when writing unpointed Hebrew text, unless it alternates with a Ḥolam in another form of the word.^[1] In informal Hebrew, this rule is sometimes ignored since it is hard for speakers to differentiate between words pronounced with /o/ because of a qamatz and the rest.
