The assumption that the different NIYQUD markings were designed for different vowel articulations is, in my opinion, but a wild guess. The Wikipedia article on the qamatz, for instance, is in my opinion but pure science fiction. The claim that the XATAPIYM need to be read B-XATAP, "snatchingly", is, in my opinion, a terminological joke.

There are people in Israel strongly calling now for the removal from the school curriculum of this meshugas that goes by the name of Hebrew grammar.
