EXERCISE #1: Please identify the name of each letter. If there is a final form (sofit) of a letter, please indicate. If there is a Dagesh Lene/Qal (weak/light dagesh) letter, please transliterate the no dagesh form (fricative/soft) accordingly. Example: Daleth (d@ with Dagesh Lene, plosive/hard form) without a dagesh (d fricative/soft form) is transliterated as "Dhaleth", with an "h" sound after the "D".

Example: #$)ro would be "Ro'sh". Be sure to transliterate any Dagesh Forte/Chazaq (strong dagesh/doubled letters). Example: ys@iyni would be "Nissi".
