Hi All,

I'd like to thank everybody for their answers and offer 
apologies in advance if there is something I have 
missed but what I was really hoping to see was evidence 
based on raw data rather than explanations of theories of 
when the schewa should or should not be pronounced.

e.g.

i)   Do the Massoretes themselves say that some schewas 
     should not be pronounced?
ii)  Is there any transliterational evidence that backs
     up theories of when the schewa is silent?

Thanks,
