כתיב חסר

Hebrew

Etymology

From כְּתִיב‎ (k'tív) + חָסֵר‎ (khasér); hence literally "spelling that is lacking".

Noun

כְּתִיב חָסֵר • (k'tív khasér) m

Ktiv haser: a style of Hebrew spelling that uses neither diacritics (except sometimes sparingly) nor extra vowel letters (compared to traditional spelling); contrasted with כְּתִיב מָלֵא‎ (k'tív malé), which also doesn't use the diacritics, but which compensates by using vowel letters more heavily.
