= Segol (trope)
{wiki=Segol_(trope)}
Segol is a diacritical mark used in Hebrew. It appears as three dots arranged vertically beneath a letter and typically indicates a specific vowel sound, pronounced as "e" (like the "e" in "bed"). Segol is one of several vowel symbols in Hebrew, which is primarily a consonant-based script. In the context of Hebrew grammar and phonetics, Segol serves to guide pronunciation, especially in texts like the Torah and other religious literature where precise vocalization is important.
