Bressler published a booklet on the pronunciation of Hebrew,
based upon Torah
sources. He points out that Rabbeynu Yehuda HaLevy in the
the Kuzari <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>(2:80),
dealing with that subject, groups
together the kametz [‘’gadol’’], cholom, and shuruk as
sounds respectively formed
by the lips closing in closer<span style="mso-spacerun:yes">

This, YB points out, makes the cholom neither an “oy” sound
nor a long “a”
sound (both which involve the sides of the tongue).</font><o:p></o:p></span></p>
