I'm not talking about in lexicons, but list in general.
Like if you are looking at a listing of books in Hebrew with points how
would they be listed, or names in a phone book, etc.
I assume that there has to be a standard for putting pointed hebrew
words in alphabetical order.
That is what I am asking about.
Thanks.

order.
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.
Yours,
Harold Holmyard
