===== Review =====

==== Last lesson we learned.... ====

  * Four new letters: [[heh]], [[vav]], [[yod]], [[lamed]]

  * Basic rules for syllables:
    * Each syllable begins with a consonant.
    * Must include only one vowel.
    * May be an open syllable (ending in a vowel), or a closed syllable (ending in a consonant.)
    * If the last letter of a word is a consonant, the final syllable is closed.

  * Use of [[alef]], [[heh]], [[vav]] and [[yod]] as [[matres lectionis]].
    * Yod usually for I-Type or E-Type vowels.
    * Vav usually for U-Type or O-Type vowels.
    * Alef and heh, usually for open vowels, but heh is only used this way for the last letter of a word.

  * New words:  LeV, BaVeL, and LeVah.
