בּ • (b)

1. Bet, beth: the second letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

Usage notes

• The letter ⟪בּ⟫ always represents the phoneme /b/; pronounced [b] in Modern Israeli Hebrew, like the ⟨b⟩ in English bet.
• The letter ⟪ב⟫ for /v/ however is also common shorthand for ⟪בּ⟫, so ⟪ב⟫ may be pronounced [v] or [b].
