Vowels Explained

The Ivrit vowels are mainly made of lines and dots, I will call them sound symbols.  

Mostly the sound symbols are placed under the letter but one is placed on top.

Although all the Ivrit letters are consonants, two of them can be used as vowels. Its just like in English where the consonant letter 'Y' sometimes behaves like a vowel. 
Example of this is in the word Baby.

To understand the vowel system in Ivrit, where sound symbols appear under OR on top of letters, lets look at the sentence:

The Rabbit took the carrot.

Now lets imagine this sentence, written again, but lets put the vowels,  where they would appear if it was Ivrit. 

What we end up with, is a string of consonants with vowels underneath or on top of the letters..

For example: 

The vowel 'a' in the word Rabbit is places under the 'R' to make 'R' sound like 'Ra'.  

In Ivrit, this 'a' will be a symbol under the letter and the same goes for the rest.
