I have a question in regards to putting Hebrew words in alphabetical order.Look at www.oham.net/out/N-t.html
I assume that ordering the words according to the letters would be the
first step, but how do you handle the points (dagesh and vowel)?
What is the ordering criteria when you have two or more words with the
same letters, but different points?
So, for example, if you have the words:
)FBAL
)FB"L
)"BEL
):ABFL
Or if you have:
)FDAM
)FDFM
)FDOM
):EDOM
)ODEM
How would they be alphabetized?
You will find the right vowel and other points order stated by the Academy of the Hebrew Language.
HH: I say this to John: lexicons do not normally take into consideration vowel points when alphabetizing words. They operate by consonants and roots. Verbs normally take priority over related nouns that are otherwise the same consonantally.

Harold Holmyard
