Please, why do you write TeATREHU for a male actor and TAATRYIHU for a
female actress?

Why this difference in the first syllable: Te for the masculine and TA for
the feminine?
Are you sure this is right?
I think both must be "Te", namely TAV and shewa.

Dear Pere,

I have no idea where Isaac got Taatryihu, but the word in discussion is
pronounced ta(at'-t'aRE:-hu: because before a guttural the schewa takes
the vowel quality of the guttural.
