Hiriq, also called Chirik (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "lang". Script error: No such module "IPA".) is a Hebrew niqqud vowel sign represented by a single dot Template:Angle bracket underneath the letter. In Modern Hebrew, it indicates the phoneme Template:IPAslink which is similar to the "ee" sound in the English word deep and is transliterated with "i". In Yiddish, it indicates the phoneme Template:IPAslink which is the same as the "i" sound in the English word skip and is transliterated with "i".
Spelling
When writing with niqqud, the letter yud Template:Angle bracket is often written after the letter that carries the Hiriq sign. This is called Script error: No such module "lang". (Template:Langx Script error: No such module "IPA".), meaning "full" (or "plene") hiriq. In writing without niqqud, the letter yud is added more often as a mater lectionis, than in writing with niqqud, The main exception is the "i" vowel in a syllable that ends with shva naḥ. For example the words Script error: No such module "Lang". (series) and Script error: No such module "Lang". (she organized) are pronounced identically in modern Hebrew, but in spelling without niqqud Script error: No such module "Lang". is written Script error: No such module "Lang". because there is a shva naḥ on the letter Template:Script/Hebr, and Script error: No such module "Lang". is written Script error: No such module "Lang"..
In Yiddish orthography the Script error: No such module "lang". is placed under the yud Template:Angle bracket.
