PLURAL - Syamé

 

Plural is denoted by two large horizontal dots above a word in nouns, adjectives, and some verb forms.

These points were originally used to indicate the plural from the singular in books written without vowel points. These points were later maintained in books that included vowels.

As a rule, Syamé are placed over Résh and Dalâth whenever they occur in a word, regardless of whether they have a vowel or not; however, they can be placed over any letter that rises above the line.
When the Syamé dots are written over Résh, they replace the dot of the letter itself, as in ܪ̈.
