Isaac,

You can ask John; he lurks on this forum--or used to. He is on
sabbatical this semester, so he might not be tracking it as closely.

Subject: Re: [b-hebrew] Which?

In section 2.3 the authors have this to say about the "compound  
sheva": "They are pronounced the same as their full vowel  
counterparts but for a shorter duration". I wonder if they actually  
rehearse their students in the art of pronouncing the XATAFIYM "for a  
shorter duration"?
