Biblical Hebrew: וּלְבַיִת - pronunciation

[Sheppy]

Would the shwa be pronounced here? (Tiberian pronunciation)

 

[Ali Smith]

If it means “and to the house”, yes. Please note that all schwas are allophones of a single phoneme.

 

[Drink]

If it means “and to the house”, yes.

Where do you see a "the"?

 

[aavichai]

The Sheva would be silent.
ul-va-(y)it

 

[Sheppy]

The Sheva would be silent.
ul-va-(y)it

In modern Hebrew?

 

[aavichai]

The Sheva should be silent here both in Modern Hebrew and in the Tiberian.
That is the formal way.

But if, when you talked about modern Hebrew, you were talking about the natural way of speaking, then a lot of the time people tend to mobilize the Shevas in these cases.
And so, you may hear "u-le-va-(y)it"

Sorry about that. It should mean "and to a house".
