Methods

hasConsonantName()

hasConsonantName(name): boolean

Defined in: word.ts:217

Checks if the word contains the consonant character of the name passed in

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`name`	`"ALEF"` \| `"BET"` \| `"GIMEL"` \| `"DALET"` \| `"HE"` \| `"VAV"` \| `"ZAYIN"` \| `"HET"` \| `"TET"` \| `"YOD"` \| `"FINAL_KAF"` \| `"KAF"` \| `"LAMED"` \| `"FINAL_MEM"` \| `"MEM"` \| `"FINAL_NUN"` \| `"NUN"` \| `"SAMEKH"` \| `"AYIN"` \| `"FINAL_PE"` \| `"PE"` \| `"FINAL_TSADI"` \| `"TSADI"` \| `"QOF"` \| `"RESH"` \| `"SHIN"` \| `"TAV"`

Returns

boolean

a boolean indicating if the word contains the consonant character of the name passed in

Example

const text = new Text("הָאָ֖רֶץ");
text.words[0].hasConsonantName("HE");
// true
text.words[0].hasConsonantName("MEM");
// false

Remarks

This checks if the syllable contains the given consonant name, even if the character is not a phonemic consonant (i.e a mater).

hasTaamName()

hasTaamName(name): boolean

Defined in: word.ts:253

Checks if the word contains the taamim character of the name passed in

Parameters

Parameter Type

Parameter	Type
`name`	`"ETNAHTA"` \| `"SEGOL_ACCENT"` \| `"SHALSHELET"` \| `"ZAQEF_QATAN"` \| `"ZAQEF_GADOL"` \| `"TIPEHA"` \| `"REVIA"` \| `"ZARQA"` \| `"PASHTA"` \| `"YETIV"` \| `"TEVIR"` \| `"GERESH"` \| `"GERESH_MUQDAM"` \| `"GERSHAYIM"` \| `"QARNEY_PARA"` \| `"TELISHA_GEDOLA"` \| `"PAZER"` \| `"ATNAH_HAFUKH"` \| `"MUNAH"` \| `"MAHAPAKH"` \| `"MERKHA"` \| `"MERKHA_KEFULA"` \| `"DARGA"` \| `"QADMA"` \| `"TELISHA_QETANA"` \| `"YERAH_BEN_YOMO"` \| `"OLE"` \| `"ILUY"` \| `"DEHI"` \| `"ZINOR"`

Returns

boolean

a boolean indicating if the word contains the taamim character of the name passed in

Example

const text = new Text("הָאָ֖רֶץ");
text.word[0].hasTaamName("TIPEHA");
// true

Remarks

Note: it only checks according to the character name, not its semantic meaning. E.g. “כֵֽן׃” would be true when checking for "METEG", not silluq

hasVowelName()

hasVowelName(name): boolean

Defined in: word.ts:283

Checks if the word contains the vowel character of the name passed in

Parameters

Parameter	Type
`name`	`"HATAF_SEGOL"` \| `"HATAF_PATAH"` \| `"HATAF_QAMATS"` \| `"HIRIQ"` \| `"TSERE"` \| `"SEGOL"` \| `"PATAH"` \| `"QAMATS"` \| `"HOLAM"` \| `"HOLAM_HASER"` \| `"QUBUTS"` \| `"QAMATS_QATAN"` \| `"SHEVA"` \| `"SHUREQ"`

Returns

boolean

a boolean indicating if the word contains the vowel character of the name passed in

Example

const text = new Text("הַיְחָבְרְךָ")'
text.word[0].hasVowelName("PATAH");
// true

// test for vocal sheva
text.word[0].hasVowelName("SHEVA");
// true

// test for silent sheva
text.word[0].hasVowelName("SHUREQ");
// false

Remarks

This returns a boolean if the vowel character is present, even for most mater lectionis (e.g. in a holam vav construction, “HOLAM” would return true). The only exception is a shureq, because there is no vowel character for a shureq. According to Syllabification, a sheva is a vowel and serves as the nucleus of a syllable. It returns true for “SHEVA” only when the sheva is the vowel (i.e. a vocal sheva or sheva na’).
