The vowels were simply understood and supplied where they were needed. Our mind can simply supply the vowels because we are familiar with the words. Therefore, the original pronunciation of the vowels is lost. These marks were placed above and below the letters so as not to alter the length of the scrolls. And even a pronoun when used as a direct object or possessive may be attached as a suffix.
Nouns are either masculine or feminine and are almost always derived from their cognate verbs.
Since plurality can also designate a multiplicity of attributes, the words God, face, heaven and water are often found in the plural even when they refer to something singular. Hebrew nouns have no case as does Greek. The verb stem is usually made up of three consonants. In English we use tenses primarily to designate the time of the action. Hebrew tenses on the other hand describe the kind of action.
