Four important prepositions in Hebrew are: [ARABIC TEXT] “in”; [ARABIC TEXT] “like, as”; [ARABIC TEXT] “to”; and [ARABIC TEXT] “from.”
The inseparable prepositions [ARABIC TEXT], [ARABIC TEXT], and [ARABIC TEXT] are not independent words but prefixes attached to the word they modify.
Rule of shewa: Whenever two shewas occur side by side at the beginning of a word, the first shewa appears as the corresponding short vowel of the second shewa.
