<div dir="ltr"><div>When RSM was in Queens, he davened on Shabbos at a Teimoni minyan. I went there once with him. I remember the following, regarding Teimoni pronunciation:</div><div style="margin-left:40px"><br></div><div style="margin-left:40px">1. He pronounced the vav as a w</div><div style="margin-left:40px">2. The segol was pronounced like patach</div><div style="margin-left:40px">3. The kametz sounded like an "oh"</div><div><br>
<div>At our shul once, a Teimoni leyned, and his differences were:</div><div><br></div><div style="margin-left:40px">
1. He pronounced a kametz very much like many Ashkenazi -- that sound that was in between an "aw" and an "oh"<br>
2. He (like many sefardi) pronounced the tzeiri like a segol (unless it was followed by a yud, in which case it was "ay")<br>
3. But he pronounced the segol like a patach<br>
4. This was the weirdest one: he pronounced the cholam like the "I" in the english word "sit". (I *think* I'm remembering that correctly -- it was the same as the vowel in either "sit" or "set"). <br></div><div style="margin-left:40px"><br></div>I don't know if either was representative of general Teimoni pronunciation. Perhaps RSM can fill us in better.</div><div><br></div><div>-- Sholom<br>
