Sometimes ו is pronounced ve and sometimes va. I already know the rules for when it is pronounced u, so I don't need an explanation for that, but I do need an explanation to know when to pronounce it as ve or as va. For example, "and a horse" is וסוס, "vesus", but "and me" is ואני, "va'ani". I would like to know what determines if the vowel is e or a. As I said, I already know the rule for when it is וּ, u.
Another thing is the word כּ. It can have three vowels, i, e , or a. כדבש is "kidvash", while כסוס is "kasus", while כציפור is "ketzipor". What are the rules for these vowel variations?
The final thing is the word ה. "The sand" is הַחוֹל with patach while "the man" is הׇאׇדׇם with kamatz. And "the mountains" is הֶהָרִים, "heharim" with a segol. What determines if it is patach, kamatz or segol?
