KEY:

a - as in Bach
e - as in bed
ei - a Hebrew dipthong of a long "a" and a long "e" sound - closest to the "a" in the word bake.
u - as in lute
o - as in oak
ch - the gutteral ch sound, as in "Bach"
Apostrophes are used for two main purposes:
    1) In place of a "shva na," as in the Hebrew word "b'tof."  The word should be pronounced bih-tof
    2) In order to distinguish between two vowel sounds that follow one another, as in "po'em."  It should be pronounced po-em.
