Ch3 Daghesh Lene vs. Forte Exercise Identify the Daghesh type (Lene or Forte) in 15 Hebrew words and name the letter in which it appears.
Ch3 Shewa Vocal vs. Silent Exercise Identify the Shewa type (Vocal or Silent) in 15 Hebrew words and name the letter under which it appears.
Ch3 Diphthong Recognition Identify the diphthong combination (Pathach + Yod, Qamets + Yod before Waw, Holem + Yod, Shureq + Yod, or none) in 12 Hebrew words, reinforcing the reworked §3.10 diphthong table and the Qamets+Yod-before-Waw quiescence rule.
Ch3 Qamets vs. Qamets Hatuf Distinguish Qamets (long a) from Qamets Hatuf (short o) — two vowels that look identical — across 6 items drawn from real BBH Chapter 3 vocabulary, applying the closed-and-unaccented rule and the Metheg override.
Ch3 Furtive Pathach and Quiescent Alef Distinguish Furtive Pathach from Quiescent א across 10 Hebrew words, including several "neither" distractors, testing whether students can tell these two special-case features apart.
