כתיב חסר

Etymology

From כתיב (k'tív) + חסר (khasér); hence literally "spelling that is lacking".

Noun

כתיב חסר • (k'tív khasér) m

1. Ktiv haser: a style of Hebrew spelling that uses neither diacritics (except sometimes sparingly) nor extra vowel letters (compared to traditional spelling); contrasted with כתיב מלא (k'tív malé), which also doesn't use the diacritics, but which compensates by using vowel letters more heavily.
